Our city of Solvang has received a letter on October 7, 2009 from Michelle Obama designating us a “Preserve America Community” Mrs. Obama states “Your community holds a treasured place in the American story, and it is through your vision and dedication that our history will be upheld and our future will be renewed. President Obama and I are proud of your community and we applaud your achievement.”

We are very pleased to be recognized for our historic preservation, especially in anticipation of Solvang’s centennial celebration in 2011. Solvang is one of only 30 communities in California and 795 communities in the USA to have received this honor since the program’s inception in 2003. As the chairman of the “Preserve America Committee”, a Solvang resident and owner of the Solvang Gardens Lodge I am very honered for our city.
