The Real Main Street, Part II:
Petaluma’s Melting Pot of Commerce, Community, and Celebration

In Support of Our Exhibit: “Your Hometown Main Street, Petaluma”
In Cooperation with the Sonoma County Library

Join local historian John Patrick Sheehy for part two of the popular series, The Real Main Street. Part II focuses on Petaluma’s early Irish, Black, and German communities, which formed tight-knit social, religious, and commercial groups in their pursuit of the American Dream. Collectively, their contributions made Petaluma’s Main Street a bustling melting pot of commerce, community, and celebration.
