Watch the river's past unfold, with the early Pomo life of hunting, gathering and basket weaving, and the first logging days. Relive the train trips up from the City with vacationers heading to the boat clubs and resorts, and the heyday of the Big Bands in the '30s and '40s. Visit the history of farming along the River, from hops to prunes and pears to today's premium wine-grape industry.
