Napa Valley Exhibition Hall
Napa Valley is one of the original designated counties of the new State of California in 1850.
Close to the Gold Country, most successful prospecting in the Napa Valley brought forth silver, starting in 1858.
1859 witnessed the first commercial winery in the valley with “perfect weather” for the grape.
Jewish Pioneers were part of the early development of this beautiful area of California.
Exhibits in this hall cover Napa, Sonoma, St. Helena, and Calistoga.
Most of the exhibits were prepared with the help of the Jewish Historical Society of Napa Valley.
