Rotary to hear talk on Cement Hill history at next meeting

FAIRFIELD — The Fairfield-Suisun Rotary Club will host a talk on Cement Hill at the next meeting.

The Fairfield-Suisun Rotary Club will meet at noon Tuesday in-person and online.

Local amateur historian Bill Fernow will talk about the history of Cement Hill. Fernow, a retired naval officer, moved to Paradise Valley Estates in 2014 and immediately was intrigued with Cement Hill and its “castle,” which he could see every day.

Finding no one who could really give him the history of Cement Hill was the beginning of his many years of research into Cement Hill and the town of Cement. Through online research and with the help of Doug Rodgers of the Vacaville Heritage Council, Bill has assembled a considerable amount of information about the town of Cement, the Pacific Portland Cement Company and Cement Hill.

Contact the Fairfield-Suisun Rotary Club at [email protected] to request the Zoom link or if you plan to attend in-person, all are welcome. Meetings are held at the Salvation Army KROC Center, 586 E. Wigeon Way, Suisun City. The cost of the buffet lunch is $20.
