Third Annual History Trails Walk With Petalumans of Yesteryear

As part of Petalumas History Week celebration, please join the Petalumans of Yesteryear in the third annual History Trails walk through our historic downtown!

This is your chance to meet some of Petalumas most colorful, influential and fascinating characters, including Clara McNear, Issac Wickersham, Addie Atwater, William Howard Pepper, Lyman Byce (inventor of a practical incubator) and other important Petalumans, and may include surprise appearances! Along the way, historic points of interest will be pointed out, and each character will delight with their humorous, sad, and sometimes, downright bawdy stories, which took place right here in our historic town!

The walk begins at the FOOT OF THE BALSHAW PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE (NOT at the museum); where Western Avenue meets the Petaluma River at the Water Street Bistro location at 1:00 pm. Please arrive 10 minutes early to check in.

The walk is moderate in length (1 1.5 hours), the pace leisurely. Remember walking shoes, hats, water and sunscreen to be comfortable. Light refreshments served outdoors at conclusion of walk in the Museum Garden Court. Walk limited to 20 people per group (hoping to form 2 groups)!
