Description

Petaluma has a rich history that we will explore on this day trip. First, we will visit the Petaluma Historical Library and Museum. The former library now houses Petaluma poultry, dairy, and Miwok Indian history exhibits from the 1850s. Built in 1904, the structure features a neo-classical style with original fan-glass windows and the largest free-standing leaded glass dome in Northern California. You will have time to explore downtown Petaluma and enjoy lunch (on your own). Next, we will tour Achadinha Cheese Company, a family-operated ranch. The tour includes the cheese plant, milking parlor, and the loafing barns where the cows hang out, and of course we will do some cheese tastings.
