Join the “Petalumans of Yesteryear, ” knowledgeable guides dressed in period attire, for a tour of historic downtown.

Petaluma has a unique and fascinating history as a bustling river town during and after the Gold Rush, then as the “Chicken and Egg Capital of the World,” and now as a town that loves its history. Learn about Petaluma’s incredible architecture (including 8 sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places) and other important and interesting facets of our town’s history. You’ll be informed by your guide’s historical knowledge and entertained by their characters’ stories.

Free, donations appreciated. Meet on the steps of the Museum to embark on your trip back through time.
