The home of General Mariano
Guadalupe Vallejo, known as 'Lachryma Montis' (Tears of
the Mountain), was built in 1850. Its name was derived
from the springs that now are the source of Sonoma's water
supply. General Vallejo, born at Monterey July 7, 1808,
was commander of the northern Mexican frontier, founder
of the Pueblo of Sonoma, and a member of the first Constitutional
Convention of California.
