Petaluma Adobe State Historic Park in Petaluma, CA, was once a working ranch owned by Mexican general Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, specializing in cow hides, tallow, and crops. After falling into disrepair post-1846 due to Vallejo's arrest during the Bear Flag Revolt, the property became a California Historical Landmark in 1932.
Now overseen by the state Department of Parks, Petaluma Adobe offers daily access to its informative museum and volunteer opportunities, including guiding tours, gardening, animal care, and bike patrol on its 41-acre grounds.
