Do you have your 1877 Atlas yet?
We
still have copies of the 1877 Thompson Atlas of Sonoma County, full of
information of what life was like in Sonoma County back more than 125
years ago. With plenty of illustrations and vital information from the
time, It’s a great item for gift-giving.
Cost of each volume is $50 plus tax and shipping, $55 if picked up at
the Santa Rosa Library Annex.
For further Atlas information,
contact Marjorie Torliatt at 707-545-7507.
