Preserving Our Heritage

Caring for local cultural resources is something we can all be a part of. When we understand the history of our own neighborhoods and cities, we appreciate them more.

The City of Stockton takes is past, present, and future to heart. If you have any questions about the city’s redevelopment plans or its historic preservation efforts, please feel free to contact Kitty Walker at 209-937-8811.
