2024 Heritage Home & Historic Preservation Awards Ceremony on Thursday, July 18

The City of Woodland Planning Commission will host a ceremony for the 2024 Heritage Home and Historic Preservation Awards on Thursday, July 18 at 6:30 PM in the City Council Chambers at 300 First Street. The event is free to all.

The City of Woodland is known throughout California for its architecturally significant and historic homes. In recognition of our rich architectural legacy, the Heritage Home Awards have been presented since 1989. These honorary awards pay tribute to houses that add value to the historic fabric of Woodland. The Historic Preservation Awards, later added to the Heritage Home Award process, recognize unique and historically significant commercial buildings within Woodland. Both awards also recognize the caretakers of these architectural treasures.

This year's Heritage Home and Historic Preservation Award recipients were selected by the Planning Commission from nominations received since the previous awards cycle in 2022.

This year's awardees reflect a variety of architectural styles, including Tudor, Mediterranean Revival, Craftsman Bungalow, Post-Victorian, and Classical Revival.
