The Petaluma River: A Sketch Journal and Brief Historical Overview is a compilation of sketches, photographs, and watercolors by architect and artist Alan Butler, showing the Petaluma River as it reveals itself today. With his collaborator, historian Katherine J. Rinehart, the book intertwines artwork with historical photographs and research about the river from the early indigenous settlements up to present times. The authors will discuss how the book came to be and present some of their favorite discoveries during the development of the book. Learn about the history of the river from first settlement to the 20th Century.
Copies will be available for purchase at the event. Sales support two river non-profits: Petaluma River Park and Friends of the Petaluma River.
