The exhibit area on the mezzanine traces the history of sourdough and bread baking in San Francisco, especially the role of Boudin, founded in 1849 by French immigrants. An array of historic photos, artifacts, and interactive exhibits explain what French sourdough culture is, why it became so successful in the Bay Area, how Boudin recovered from the devastating 1906 earthquake, and how company operations expanded in succeeding decades.
