Open now until 1st February 2026, the Petaluma Historical Museum is hosting an exhibition of toys from the past to the present, and what kind of Petaluma exhibition would it be if it didn’t include items from the galaxy-renowned Rancho Obi-Wan? If you’re in the area (or even if you’re not) get a ticket and travel to the beautiful town of Petaluma to take in this delightful display.

Celebrate the holidays and see Toys Through Time: From Machine Age to Space Age!

Celebrate the season and enjoy the warmth of community at this special gathering! You’ll also be the very first to experience Toys Through Time: From Machine Age to Space Age, an exhibition juxtaposing remarkable mechanical toys and vintage Star Wars collectibles, revealing how play has reflected and helped shape our changing world across generations. And keep your eyes open… we’ve heard whispers over our “comlinks” that some very special visitors will be dropping in. Plus, see some of the antique mechanical toys in action during a special demonstration!

And you’ll want to visit our gift shop for unique items for the history lover on your list. We’ve got new holiday ornaments, books by local authors, and Petaluma-branded merchandise!
