You are entering the waiting room of the historic Sonoma Train Depot, which operated from 1880 to 1968. This depot, once a bustling hub for goods and materials, symbolizes the exchange, movement, and transformation that have shaped our region. What better place to celebrate the diverse people who have influenced Sonoma Valley? Their stories of immigration, innovation, and community form the vibrant mosaic of our shared heritage. We are Sonoma, and this is our story.
