Modesto is home to many great things, families, and places. Some are global game changers like the 1934 founding of Gallo Wines by the legendary Ernest and Julio Gallo. Some changed music with the 1938 sound of Maddox Brothers & Rose, laying down the beat for Rock ‘n’ Roll. The Downey (Dewey) class of ’62 became one of the world’s most famous graduating classes in “American Graffiti” in a film by Modesto native George Lucas that would change the film industry.
