The Yountville Moon

Civic Storytelling and Spatial Interpretation for California Towns

The Yountville Moon is an independent local publication that takes a closer look at the people, places and ideas shaping Yountville, Napa Valley and other small California towns. Created by Napa architect Brendan Kelly, it combines thoughtful storytelling with historical research, data, architectural insight and original graphics to help readers better understand how communities grow, change and work.

The Moon explores topics such as housing, preservation, land use, local economics, public institutions and everyday community life. Rather than looking at these subjects in isolation, it connects them to a town’s history, physical character and the people who call it home. Starting here in Yountville, the publication offers readers the facts and context behind complicated local questions in a way that feels clear and approachable. The Yountville Moon is free to read online, and readers can also subscribe at no cost to receive new articles and essays by email.
