El Presidio de Sonoma, or Sonoma Barracks, was a military outpost established in 1836 by Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo (the "Commanclate-General of the Northern Frontier of Alta California") in what is today the town of Sonoma, California as a part of Mexico's strategy to halt Russian incursions into the region. The installation is part of the Sonoma State Historic Park. It is open to visitors and has a small museum; a replica of California's original "Bear Flag" hangs on display there.
