Exploring the Old and New in Downtown Petaluma, CA

In this video, I walk through the downtown area of historic Petaluma, sometimes known as the "Egg Basket of the World." There were many interesting sights, some old buildings and architecture that I found fascinating, as well as an old mill, and other noteworthy places. Check out Petaluma, a place I usually just drive through now to go to the beach. In the past, I came here to do some swing and country dancing. I hadn't been to downtown Petaluma in a while, so I did some exploring.

Gracious. I haven't seen Petaluma in so long. I don't think we ever saw it in this detail, either! I think Petaluma used to host a big Christmas faire and they also has an annual horse parade! I do remember the amazing antique stores they had though. Thanks for this little walk down memory lane!

Very interesting place. I love older architecture too. Some of the older theaters here are beautiful. They still have a stage and balcony seating. A Willy Nelson autographed guitar and a taxidermy Polar Bear. Not manyvtowns can boast that. Lol. You were making me hungry for pie and ice cresm! That mill was huge! Thank you Nanci for sharing your walk around. Very nicely done. 😀

I'm laughing here . . . you keep commenting about food smells! Did you ever get some food? I've eaten AND danced at that McNear's (?) place. Petaluma is a fun place to walk around and explore. I enjoyed seeing the Valentine Gnome (so cute). Hey, you didn't mention anything about CLOGGING in Petaluma! Every Thursday evening . . . year after year after year . . . good times.
