We love celebrating the artists who help make Downtown Vacaville an open-air gallery.
This striking mural by Braved One / Local Edition Creative captures the beauty of the American West with a lone cowboy riding into a vibrant desert sunset. Rich colors, dramatic clouds, and iconic cacti create a scene that invites you to pause, take it all in, and appreciate the talent that brings our downtown to life.
Next time you`re exploring Downtown Vacaville, see if you can find this incredible piece and experience it in person.

โฝ A gallon of regular gasoline at this Vacaville Wilshire station was advertised for just 26.9ยข.
Back then, a trip to the gas station was a little different. An attendant would often fill your tank, wash your windshield, check your oil, and sometimes even your tire pressure, all with a smile.
To put those prices in perspective: $1 bought nearly 4 gallons of gas. $10 bought about 37 gallons.
Today, $10 doesn`t even buy 2 gallons in California.
