Woodside History Committee Honors Laquesta Winery, Telephone Exchange in History Month Proclamation
Summary
The Woodside History Committee presented preservation awards and the council proclaimed May as History Month, highlighting museum walking tours and an upcoming Woodside Fire Protection District museum exhibit.
At the May 12 Woodside Town Council meeting, Associate Planner Melanie Olsen and members of the Woodside History Committee described the committee’s public programs — museum walking tours, self-guided brochures and an upcoming Woodside Fire Protection District museum exhibit — and the council read a proclamation designating May as History Month.
The town presented Woodside Preservation Awards to Laquesta Winery (recipients Susan McBain and Jay Patterson) for its 19th‑century stone winery restoration, and to the historic telephone exchange (owners Sue Pleti and Pat Delgavio) for preserving a 1928 Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company building. Olsen encouraged residents to visit three local museums that offer free admission on specified days this summer.
Council members thanked the history committee and the museum volunteers; the council’s proclamation tied the month’s events to broader general-plan goals encouraging historic‑resource preservation and community engagement.
