General Info

More than a century ago, before Lake Berryessa came into existence, a man by the name of William "W.D." McKenzie headed Cook, McKenzie, & Son with his son Albert "Bruz" McKenzie in Monticello, CA. When Monticello citizens were told to make way for the Monticello Dam and Lake Berryessa, W.D. retired, and Bruz and his son Albert Jr. "Sandy" McKenzie took over. The two McKenzies bought an already existing hardware store in Vacaville in 1957 called Pacific Hardware, and Bruz and Sandy relocated to that location.
