Sonoma State Historic Park

Time-travel across 200 years of California history, with multiple sites in action-packed downtown Sonoma blocks – one ticket covers them all. Start your time-travel adventure in 1823 in Mission San Francisco Solano, the adobe structure that anchors the plaza where the Native American village of Huichi once stood. Sonoma Barracks captures 19th-century life, and describes how Sonoma's Bear Flag Republic started. The 1886 Toscano Hotel lobby is beautifully preserved – peek inside – and Vallejo's stately 1852 home is a half-mile northwest.

One ticket allows same-day admission to all, including Petaluma Adobe State Park at General Vallejo's former ranch, 15 miles away. Free parking is available behind the barracks.
