Created and produced by the Petaluma Historical Library and Museum with Petalumans Of Yesteryear Members and Spot Producer, Clint Gilbert

The Petaluma downtown walking tours began more than 25 years ago when our downtown was put on the National Register of Historic Places. The voices and the knowledge that developed those tours are now center stage in our History Spots.  History Spots by the Petalumans of Yesteryear will give voice to the rich history of our town. Over 20 locations in our historic downtown, and many more throughout the city.  Listen anytime on your smartphone.

Are you visiting Petaluma? Be sure to follow the HISTORY SPOTS to experience Petaluma history as it stands today. (See below for directions)
