Visit Mission San Francisco Solano
Mission San Francisco Solano was established in the early 1800s and named after Saint Francis Solano, a Spanish missionary in South America. With a large adobe church, a wooden storehouse, living quarters, a jail, a cemetery, an infirmary, and workshops where Native American crafters created useful items for the mission, there is plenty to see. A visit to this historic site provides an understanding of what life was like at the last of California’s 21 missions, where the 1846 Bear Flag Revolt took place in a bid to separate California from Mexico.
Explore the town of Petaluma
Take a walk around Petaluma's well-preserved historic town center, which includes many buildings that survived the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. One of the largest towns in Sonoma, Petaluma is famous for its lively craft beer scene, charming restaurants, and delicious produce. Stop at one of the many creameries selling goodies from the surrounding farms and sample local cheese and ice cream. Take advantage of a visit to the factory of the oldest continually operating cheese manufacturer in the United States, Marin French Cheese Company, which has produced cheeses for over 150 years.
Hike the Tomales Point Trail
Lace up your walking shoes for a Sonoma hiking adventure and soak up the scenery on the Tomales Point Trail, which offers spectacular views of Tomales Bay, Bodega Bay, and the Pacific Ocean. This trail also offers a slice of history as the trail follows an old ranch road northwest. Any time is an excellent time to enjoy this walk, but one of the best times to do it is just before sunset. Time it right, and you can watch the sun setting "into" the ocean and still have enough light to return to the start of the walk before dark.
