Duncans Mills
Built 1907
Samuel and Alexander Duncan established a lumber mill here in the early 1870s. By 1900, there were several large hotels and the town of Duncans Mills was thriving. The 1906 earthquake leveled most of the buildings including the old depot.
The existing depot was built in 1907 and won the outstanding restoration for the State of California in 1971. Although the depot museum is often closed, you can always view restored Northwestern Pacific railway narrow gauge cars.
In 1976, the California Department of Parks and Recreation built an office building in the style of the historic depot to house the Russian River Sector Office of the Sonoma-Mendocino Coast District.
The depot is home to several bears carved in wood.
