Peña Adobe Historical Society Joins GivingTuesday with Give Local Solano
December 1, 2020 |
Give Local Solano was launched in 2016 by Solano Community Foundation to join the global movement GivingTuesday! GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. It is always held on the first Tuesday after the Thanksgiving holiday.
It has been 15 years since the last restoration work was completed at the Peña Adobe. Currently the south wall of the adobe which collapsed years ago and was repaired in 1965 is showing signs of deterioration. The main room of the adobe also has areas where the walls are showing signs of distress.
The City of Vacaville has started the restoration work regarding the moisture damage with steps recommended by Architect Gil Sanchez of Scotts Valley, an expert in adobe restoration and care. The Peña Adobe Historical Society would like to assist with this historic preservation with additional funding to install a new much needed ventilation system and wall and flooring repairs.
Join us and the City of Vacaville as we accept the responsibility to maintain the Peña Adobe as a symbol of the Pioneer Mexican Heritage that brought civilization to this part of California. Help us to preserve the home of the Peña family who with the Vaca family (Vacaville’s namesake) arrived here in 1841. Those who are
