The Museum of Sonoma County was the Santa Rosa Post Office, built in 1910
In this episode, host Michelle Marques takes you on a tour of the Museum of Sonoma County's exhibit, "It’s in the Mail!" The show explores the fascinating history of mail delivery in the region, including the incredible story of how the museum's building—the former Santa Rosa Post Office—was moved 750 feet to make way for the Santa Rosa Plaza mall. You'll also hear about the first airmail flight in the world, which flew from Petaluma to Santa Rosa. Michelle is joined by Eric Stanley, the museum's Curator of History and Deputy Director, to guide you through this unique look into Sonoma County’s past.
