The Northern California Chapter began in 1984. The following year, the Chapter organized a special tour of privately owned historical monuments and hidden treasures of the Ile de France and Burgundy countryside. The Chapter has supported French Heritage Society's education programs and restoration projects, including properties in Louisiana as part of the Katrina Heritage Rescue Fund; Hôtel de Talleyrand in Paris; Chartres Cathedral, Château de Montigny; and Abbaye de Valmagne. Of special note to Californians is the grant of $25,000 which the Chapter provided for upgrading the system of seismic protection for the San Francisco War Memorial Opera House.

Chapter highlight events included a visit to the atelier of renowned floral designer Thierry Chantrel, and a gathering to celebrate the Fête de Rois at the French Consulate, hosted by Consul General and Mme. Frederic Desagneaux.

Dori Bonn and Patsy Seidler are Co-Chairmen of the Northern California Chapter
