The original Southern Pacific Railroad station that connected Sunnyvale to the broader Bay Area transportation network.
Built in 1907, the Sunnyvale Depot served as the vital transportation hub that connected the agricultural community to markets in San Francisco and San Jose. The depot's distinctive Mission Revival architecture reflects the popular building style of early 20th century California. Passengers and freight trains regularly stopped here, bringing visitors and shipping out the valley's abundant agricultural products.
The depot symbolizes Sunnyvale's integration into the regional economy and the importance of rail transportation in early California development.
Restored and operates as a museum and community event space.
Open Tuesday-Sunday, 10 AM - 4 PM. Free admission with donations welcomed.
