In Sonoma County, residents have been observing Thanksgiving since the first white settlers arrived in the 1800s. Mostly celebrated at home in the past, today’s Thanksgiving revelers may enjoy a meal out or in the wild at Safari West.

Traditions may have changed in recent years, but a few things remain the same. Sonoma County residents have a tradition of helping the less fortunate and sharing the bounty of the harvest with their neighbors.

Take a look at our gallery of Thanksgivings past and present as we get ready to give thanks.
