History isn’t meant to be locked away in dusty books. It’s meant to be experienced.

That’s where we come in!

The Petalumans of Yesteryear can offer you or your organization a one-of-a-kind experience you’ll be talking about for years.

Our costumed members assume the personalities of prominent early Petaluma citizens, to share the story of our fascinating town in personalized, authentic and genuinely fun way. In fact, you’ve probably seen us in period garb, leading tours in our beautiful historic downtown, or participating in civic ceremonies.

We can bring that same unique experience to you, at your home, your office, or your meeting. We can appear singly, or together as a group, and our presentations can range from 10 minutes to an hour.

Or paddle through history with the Petalumans of Yesteryear! This guided kayak tour brings the past to life with storytelling and appearances by costumed folks from Petaluma’s past, all along the Petaluma River. No experience needed!

We are also hosting Murder Mystery Dinner Parties. You are invited to a thrilling murder mystery dinner party, transported back to Petaluma in the year 1899. Join us for an evening of intrigue, deception, and delicious food at one of Petaluma’s fine restaurants.

Petaluma is a one-in-a-million place. If you live here, you’ve sensed it. Now, find out why. And share that Petaluma pride with your family, friends, or business associates. For more information about the historical characters’ lives please read this linked ‘Suggested Reading’ list.
