So much history!

I recently visited the Petaluma History Museum in the Petaluma Library Museum. The history Museum has so much Petaluma history. Yearbooks back to 1917, pictures back to the 1800's. They do presentations about special topics frequently. It is a great place to learn about Petaluma!...More

Some old, interesting local artifacts

Interesting place to spend a couple of hours if you want to get away from the heat or cold for that matter.

Beautiful edifice

This building is Museum quality on the outside. I never went on the inside as they were closed. It's refreshing to see such interesting and amazing architecture in central Petaluma.

My favorite part of this lovely old , intimate library is their classical music concerts (now about quarterly) .A large glass dome and original wood paneling contribute to fantastic and resonant acoustics, and the performers are always world-class musicians. To me there is nothing like...More

Just the architecture alone is worth the trip to visit this historic site! Beautiful white columns and staircase lead to this old classic library from a by-gone era. It's like taking a step back in time when there was "NO" electronics, just "BOOKS"! Classic old...More
