  • Very nice historical building with free exhibits about the local history and citizens. The displays pulled no punches and didn't shy away from the often terrible aspects of Petaluma's history (racism, exploitation of native peoples, animal abuse in factory farming). Very informative and a great learning experience!
  • 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.
