Whistlestop Antiques is a bright, well-stocked antiques & collectibles shop located in the Historic Railroad Square shopping district of Santa Rosa, Sonoma County Wine Country, Northern California.
The brick walls of the historical building (built around 1910) are a perfect backdrop for a wide variety of antique treasures. With 10,000 square feet of antiques and collectibles (including Sonoma County's wonderful jewelry shop) and 36 talented independant antique dealers, you're sure to find the perfect item you've been looking for.
This local business was founded in 1974 and for years has been a favorite stop for locals and visitors while in Santa Rosa's Historic Railroad Square. Visit and see why Whistlestop Antiques is voted (year after year) "Best Antique Store" in Sonoma County by the Press Democrat's Readers Choice Award and by the North Bay Bohemian readers.
