Petaluma - Where to Stay & Play
Experience the charm of one of the oldest cities in California, with one of the best preserved historic downtown areas on the National Register of Historic Places. Victorian homes and Iron Front buildings surround this charming Riverfront town.
Centrally located 32 miles north of San Francisco in Sonoma County Wine Country, Petaluma is the ideal base for exploring more than 195 wineries, the redwoods, dramatic coast, Point Reyes National Seashore and the entire Bay Area.
Ever since the early days, commercial and feature film producers have loved to capture Petaluma’s charm and style on film. Some sources suggest this Victorian Riverfront Town was a feature film site as early as 1911.
In addition to the filming of American Graffiti here in 1972, Petaluma has formed the backdrop for such films as The Farmer's Daughter (1947); Ground Zero (1972); Heroes (1977); Cujo (1983); Explorers (1985); Peggy Sue Got Married (1986); Howard the Duck (1986); Tucker, The Man And His Dreams (1988); Shadow Of A Doubt (TV-1991); Basic Instinct (1992); Lolita (1996); Inventing The Abbotts (1996); Flubber (1997); Mumford (1999) and others. It is also a favorite location for the filming of television commercials. |
