Free Public Library of Petaluma

The Free Public Library of Petaluma features a two-story Classical Revival building with stone construction, columns, pediments, and a vaulted ceiling with leaded glass windows.

The building opened in 1906 as a Carnegie library, funded by local contributions of $7,500 and $12,500 from Andrew Carnegie, later transforming into a museum in 1976.

The museum collection includes artifacts from Miwok people and materials documenting the development of local poultry and dairy industries in Northern California.

The research library provides resources for historical, genealogical, and architectural studies, with limited wheelchair access available throughout certain areas of the facility.

The museum houses Northern California's largest freestanding leaded glass dome, while three Heritage trees grow on the grounds: Giant Sequoia, California Live Oak, and Bunya-Bunya.
