Petaluma Historical Library & Museum

Worth visiting when open. Former City Library (Carnegie Library)and now a repository of mostly local historical materials and displays, with special temporary exhibits. Large staff of volunteers and docents.

Small two story museum. I thought it was cute and a nice little stop in between antiquing.

Great information on local history.

A fantastic collection of artifacts from different time periods. learned a lot.

Went to go on a walking tour they did every Saturday in October. The kind lady showed us architectural design of downtown buildings. Also some Petaluma history.I grew up in Petaluma. I was able to ad some history facts to the tour. That must make me old.

A real treasure in downtown Petaluma. Quite amazing details in the history of this formerly rural Northern California egg capital. A real deal, only donations. It deserves to be seen by everyone in the county.

Update! The Historic Downtown Walking Tours are at 10:30 a.m. most Saturdays May through October. NOT 11:30 a.m.. Thank you!

I went to the antique fair and stumbled into this place. Its massive and theres a lot to see.

If only the employees there were more passionate about their work. They saw me looking at the display, and proceeded to put a screen blocking me from viewing the display. I had to go behind the screen to snap this picture.

Enjoyed Russian pianist also the exhibits at the museum wonderfully museumto visit

Extremely cute and filled with a lot of history. If you love learning new things then check this place out!

Ive always loved this place. Their rotating exhibits are pretty interesting and their volunteer staff are all really lovely, knowledgeable individuals.

Spent a great day with family here

Best place ever...Sometimes I wish I had a job here

Beautiful museum and history

I have had the opportunity to visit the Petaluma Museum and Library for various reasons. Many are the great events that take place here. I have learned so much about the history of Petaluma here from the displays and the helpful volunteers and the Petalumans of Yesteryear. The building itself is a historic site and the dome stain glass ceiling is something special to see. Every time I walk in there the volunteers and docents are friendly and very informative. They change up their exhibits periodically so it is never the same experience on each visit.

Great collection pieces. Friendly staff.
