Beth Winegarner became the first to apply British and European concepts of earth energy and sacred alignments to the Sonoma County landscape when she began researching the region's historic and haunted sites in 1995. She then became the first to publish that research when she took "Sacred Sonoma" to the Web in 2000. Now, Winegarner presents "Sacred Sonoma," completely revised and updated with new sites, for the first time in print. This volume also includes all new photographs and a new introduction from the author, as well as the original maps drawn by illustrator Matt Berger. Now, "Sacred Sonoma" is something locals and travelers can carry with them as they visit the unusual sites and alignments it describes. Take it with you and explore the beauty, history and mystery of Sonoma County.

A farm town for much of its history, today Santa Rosa reflects a desire to retainor even recapture the charm of years past while still embracing the 21st century.
