Historic Train Depot Reopens in the Heart of Folsom

Post Date:04/09/2025 8:51 a.m.

The historic train depot at 200 Wool Street has been restored and reimagined as a multifunctional space in the heart of Folsom’s Historic District. The revitalized Freight Room now serves as office space for the Folsom Historic District Association, a meeting room, and the Peter T. Lewis Green Room, a professional-grade backstage space for performers at the Zittel Family Amphitheater.

Originally part of the Sacramento Valley Railroad—the first railroad west of the Mississippi River—the depot remains a symbol of Folsom’s rich transportation history. The restoration project preserved the building’s historic character while adding modern upgrades to support today’s community needs.

Folsom Historic District Association board member Jerry Bernau led the project, generously donating his time and expertise to the renovation. The project was made possible through cash, materials, and in-kind donations from local organizations, private donors, and volunteers.
