Born in Detroit to an African American father and white mother\, Dorian grew up in a family that valued music as an expression of art\, identity and politics. She loves jazz and its balance between creative freedom and structure\, the fun of swing and phrasing. She also works in other musical styles: country-roots with Foxes in the Henhouse\, classical with Gravenstein Mandolin Ensemble and eclectic freelance groups around the Bay Area. Dorian studied at the University of Michigan and UC Berkeley and taught music in Petaluma’s public schools. \nBOB JOHNS (piano/trumpet) Bob’s early piano lessons grew into a desire to improvise like his father who played jazz trumpet in big bands and small groups. When he arrived in San Francisco after serving in the Navy\, Bob found like-minded players who formed the fusion group Nexus\, playing in San Francisco and the East Bay through the 80s. He played keyboard and trombone for a time in the African group\, Hedzoleh Soundz. Bob plays each Tuesday night with his jazz buddies at the Comstock Saloon in San Francisco’s North Beach. He hosts an Open Mic once a month in Petaluma at the United Methodist Church. \nDAVID SCOTT (sax/flute/vocals) left his hit rock & roll band in Australia and boarded a ship at age 18 to head for New Caledonia as a jazz musician. He settled for 10 years in Tahiti\, playing jazz\, rock and island music as well as learning French. David came to Sonoma County in 1989 and joined Gator Beat (now known as Gator Nation) playing Cajun & Zydeco music. He developed a unique style of interwoven horn and accordion and has mastered the technique of circular breathing (continuous tone without interruption) on his saxophone. David is a founder of Collaboration Jazz Band which performs locally. \nTONY BLAKE (drums) was born and raised in San Francisco. Eclectic in his percussive expression\, Tony is comfortable in symphony orchestras\, small jazz ensembles\, folk\, rock or world music groups. He has developed a playing style that draws on many traditions. Finding the common pulse to support the music inspires him\, no matter what the setting. Tony lives in Petaluma and works as an Environmental Scientist. He spends much of his free time traveling the San Francisco Bay Area making music. \n\nImage courtesy of Mark Adams Photography\nSponsored by Petaluma Museum Association – 20 4th Street\, Petaluma CA 94952 and\nPetaluma Blacks for Community Development – PO Box 2045\, Petaluma CA  94953-2045

SUMMARY:2024 Exhibition-Schedule
DESCRIPTION:AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE ARTS\nFebruary 9 -March 31\nPresented in partnership with Petaluma Blacks for Community Development\, the exhibition will celebrate Black History Month through the lens of African Americans in the arts. \nCORNERSTONE: BUILDING COMMUNITY IN PETALUMA\nApril 25-June 16\nIn commemoration of the 120th anniversary of the setting of the building’s cornerstone\, this exhibition will include photographs\, documents\, and ephemera related to the founding and construction of Petaluma’s Carnegie Library. The exhibit will emphasize how community enthusiasm and support was instrumental in bringing the library to Petaluma in 1904\, and later was key to the building’s evolution into the Petaluma Historical Library & Museum. \nHER SIDE OF THE STORY: TALES OF CALIFORNIA PIONEER WOMEN\n\nJuly 5-August 25\nIlluminating the hardships\, joys\, and lives of female pioneers\, Her Side of the Story: Tales of California Pioneer Women highlights first-person stories from the women who traveled by land or sea to settle in California prior to statehood. In 1900\, The Association of Pioneer Women of California formed and collected the reminiscences of women who arrived in California before 1854 in a single ledger. This incredible document\, filled with over 800 handwritten stories of California pioneer women\, is the basis for this exhibition. Organized by The Society of California Pioneers\, the exhibition will feature first-person quote panels\, maps\, photographs\, and other materials. The Museum will concurrently display artifacts from Petaluma’s early women residents\, including journals and other personal objects. \nHer Side of the Story: Tales of California Pioneer Women was developed by The Society of California Pioneers and travels through Exhibit Envoy. \nTELLING STORIES OF MEXICAN CALIFORNIA: REAL LIFE & MYTH MAKING\n\nSeptember 12-November 3\nTelling Stories of Mexican California: Real Life & Myth Making broadly outlines California’s history leading up to statehood as a backdrop to the factual and fictional stories that emerged after the US takeover. It considers nineteenth-century Mexican American individuals and families who told their stories and looks at some of the early narratives that helped create an enduring California mythos\, as well as the stories that were ignored in favor of this new\, often exaggerated or fictionalized lore. The exhibition is developed by the California Historical Society\, drawing extensively from the their collections and consisting of 10 to 11 free-standing pop-up banners. The Petaluma Historical Library & Museum was one of three institutions selected through a competitive process as a sponsored host\, generously funded by the Henry Mayo Newhall Foundation. The Museum will concurrently display artifacts from our own collection related to early Mexican-American history in our region. \nTelling Stories of Mexican California: Real Life & Myth Making was developed and organized by the California Historical Society and tours through Exhibit Envoy. Institutional support provided by San Francisco Grants for the Arts and Yerba Buena Community Benefit District. The Henry Mayo Newhall Foundation supported the first 3 bookings of this exhibition. \nDIA DE LOS MUERTOS\nOctober 3-November 3\nThe Museum will once again partner with El Dia De Los Muertos Petaluma to host an exhibition of ofrendas and artworks in celebration of Dia de Los Muertos\, the annual holiday in honor of the deceased that is traditionally observed in parts of Mexico and in other Latin America communities. \nVINTAGE TOYS\nNovember 14-January 5\nTo celebrate the holiday season\, the Museum will display a selection of vintage and antique toys from our collections.

SUMMARY:Small Town Historic Surveying: A Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Home in Image Referred to as the Camm House – 700 D Street\nTuesday\, May 6 – 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm (first part of the HCPC meeting)\nPetaluma City Hall\, 11 English Street\n(or https://cityofpetaluma.org/meetings/)\nPreservation Architect Jerri Holan discusses why surveys of potential resources or buildings are the primary planning tool for identifying\, recording\, and evaluating historic properties. After describing the scope of these surveys\, she points out that funding for historical surveys is often lacking in small towns. She provides an example of a small town that used community volunteers to complete a windshield survey\, followed by a formal historical evaluation by a consultant. The surveying took a while but was a cost-effective solution for identifying resources within this small community. \n
