The Petaluma Wildlife Museum, located at Petaluma High School, is the only high school student run natural history museum in the nation. The student docents give conservation-themed tours of the facility and small animal zoo to children visiting from local elementary school. They also give tours to the general public most Saturdays during the academic school year, as well as during special events.
