The Kenwood Depot is an ideal Sonoma county location for wedding receptions, parties, classes and other events.
The Kenwood Depot is wise to history. The last steam locomotive pulling passenger cars wheezed into the Kenwood Depot during the Jazz Age, freight cars stopped jolting through as Franklin Roosevelt celebrated winning his second term as President in November, 1936.
Since then, the romantic little stone masonry edifice, built in 1888 in the neo-Romanesque style of famed 19th century architect Henry Hobson Richardson - builder of Boston's Trinity Church - has rested on its rustically-hewn, hip-roofed gray and pink basalt fundament as a beloved landmark in the Sonoma Valley village of Kenwood, "home" to festive receptions and reunions, banquets and birthday parties, graduations and rallies and town meetings - even a few palace revolts.
The Depot is happiest when guests are crying "bon voyage" and "welcome home" - reminders of its glory days as a temple of arrivals and departures, of greetings and goodbyes. But its spacious, oak-floored hall and classically gracious atmosphere, its vineyard setting and its 100-year-old redwoods make a memorable site for all private as well as community occasions.
So hear this, all you yard-masters and throttle-jerkers! Whistle out a flag, buckle the rubbers, hit the high-daddy and 'ball that doodlebug on the Route #12 branch line to Warm Springs Road in Kenwood. Bat the stack off of her. Bring along your lizard-scorcher and all the little cinder-snappers. Put on the nosebag - the biscuits don't hang high in Kenwood!
The former train station has a kitchen, ticket office, restrooms, BBQ, patio, and parking. If you want to be married in a church, try the nearby Kenwood Community Church.
