Charles Schulz /Peanuts Museum in Santa Rosa

[@wyattearpp9540]

Sunday morning, cup of Joe & History Hunters... Life is good.... Hope the cancelled wingnuts don't go after Charlie next....😬

[@tomkiser1418]

the episode put a smile on my face thank you for showing such detail in the exhibit...the narrative was key. Watching Sarah enjoy the moment also allows us to "tag" along. Your becoming the "Curators of History" with each episode. Thanks guys.

[@johnnyjesus8]

Really enjoyed it Jeff i was raised looking at Charlie brown when I was a kid in England. Its another great historic American cartoon. Sarah seemed to enjoy going there she's comical lol. Thanks for putting the time in to do it my friend. Ps hopefully the cancel culture will keep their hands off Charlie brown.

[@janetceniza8091]

I collect the pressed pennies too, i have one full little book, but at my age i don't get around as much, still look for them when i can.

[@webchuck1]

Hello History Hunters, Thank you so much for sharing this story on Charles Schulz he was my favorite growing up in the 60s. His artwork will always live on

[@reinhardtnilsson7360]

I lover how Sarah just goes along with anything...where can i find a woman like that ?!

[@frankcasey7423]

Great job guy’s! Classic “Peanuts” - love this cartoon when I was a kid and still watch the Peanuts/ Charlie Brown/ Snoopy specials when they come on tv during the holidays with my kids! Great job again! See ya guy’s on the next one, take care now! Frank from Philadelphia, PA.

He lived in Colorado Springs in the early 1950's. While living in their house in Colorado Springs, Charles Schulz painted a whimsical mural on the wall in daughter Meredith’s bedroom. The wall included early illustrations of Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and Patty, as well as many other amusing characters and objects to entertain a young child.

[@stflaw]

The wall to which you refer was on display in the museum when I went there in 2009.

[@mannybravo237]

As a young kid I had the 45 record of 'Snoopy Vs the Red Baron' by the Royal Guardsmen, I loved that song! And my high school art teacher in the 70s made sure all the students knew Charles Schulz received a bigger paycheck than the president. Cool. Thanks for the tour! Edit: and we called the comic strips 'the funnies'

[@ToddEWalnuts]

Great episode, Sarah and Jeff. Those Peanuts comics and Charlie Brown holiday specials are gold. So many fond memories growing up. I couldn’t help but think of that King of Queens episode when Arthur Spooner accused Charles Shultz of stealing the Charlie Brown character from his own life. 😁😆

[@renofredrenofred4913]

That was a fun walk through. The "Peanuts" comic strip was one I read often when I was a kid......a long time ago....lol! Thanks for another fun walk around.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

Once again, I can't believe how similar our interests are. I was planning to visit the Charles Schulz in Santa Rosa recently, but then Dawn Wells died and I switched my trip around to visit her instead :-) I didn't know the museum was closed. Thanks for the preview and heads up, Jeff!

[@jbenziggy]

You're welcome. Nothing makes sense about this California lockdown, Steve. You can go into a Walmart or Target no problem. Go into a museum? Heck no. That's nuts. I wanted to visit a historical cemetery in the Bay Area, no, it's closed. Let's see here... go to an open place where only dead people and a scattering of living people are and they have the gate posted with a security guard filtering who goes in and for what. I'm fed up with this situation, how about you?

[@melissajensen3166]

I’ve been to the museum, it’s so fun. I met Sparky at the ice arena he owned. That’s where his office was. To relax he would play hockey. Great vlog Jeff.

[@speedspeed121]

On the 18th and 19th of this month, I am taking a two-day trip down the 395 from the 88. I am driving all the way down to Southern California. Last Summer, I visited just about every site you covered, including Genoa!!!! Any suggestions on historic locations around the 395?

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

Thank you so much I look forward to Sundays and your videos. Hope you don't mind I had to share with all my friends on Facebook Central California Watching

[@williamclifford9757]

Great show, stay safe and healthy and I am just ecstatic that Sara is featured! Travel safely ❤️👽

[@denesechavez5581]

I've often thought how easy artists make drawing look!

[@pamelag2223]

What a delight to have you cover Charles Schulz! I drew that classic Snoopy on top of his doghouse thousands of times in my childhood! Being from Minnesota, this is near and dear to my heart. Thank you soooo much! I will get here someday, God willing!

[@lanceolson9366]

Pure gold of California's Artistic culture. Another wonderful episode thank u for the history lesson.

[@franhager4962]

💛 I love peanuts! Forever I remember watching every year in the early 80s I introduced peanuts to my kids and there favorite is ‘Its a Easter beagle Charlie Brown’!

[@jimbullard441]

Great one. I would love to visit that museum!

[@lindsaymacpherson8782]

What a lovely video :) reminded me of late 60's and 70's as i was hooked on peanuts :) Thankyou both for a small walk down happy memories

[@greggwatkinsjr.8298]

Look like a awesome museum for any fans of the Peanuts to visit. Hope it'll reopen again someday. 🙂

[@rhondaz356]

This was a great video on Charles's background and life, Jeff and Sarah. He was quite an accomplished, talented and EXTRAordinary individual. 🥳👏👍

[@Corgis175]

Great to see the museum and as you said Knottsberry Farm has Camp Snoopy.

[@Jackielightning]

Thank you Jeff and Sarah for the trip to the Schulz Museum

[@SonjasSEAcrets]

Always enjoyed this wholesome comic strip! Thanks for taking us there.

[@TheJericho1123]

fun fact: the man who was the voice of Charlie Brown got out of prison last year.

[@kermitdefrog.8332]

What was he in prison for?

[@grannie2100]

Looks like you both enjoyed yourselves

[@michelleserrano6115]

Another AWESOME episode. Looks like a great weekend trip. Can't wait to go there. Thanks.👍

[@janetceniza8091]

Nice to see Sarah this time, she does have a very nice smile.

[@williambarnes7133]

I got a comic strip of my own, that I am trying to syndicate...... I owe everything to my fellow minnesota cartoonist charles shulz.......

[@pneumaone]

Loved Sarah's picture with the Snoopy ears and saying... it's a keeper!

[@horrorfanrikki8038]

The Peanut Gang is STILL the BEST classic Comic Gang EVER!!!

[@alewis8765]

The museum is less than a mile from my parents' house. During WW2 my grandma briefly dated Charles Schultz but didn't think being an artist was a good way to make a living. (she was raised on a farm)

[@quicksilver2510]

My first recollection of Schultz, Charlie Brown and Snoopy was in the early 1970's when my brother and I entered our dog in a Snoopy look-a-like competition the local cinema was conducting to promote the new Peanuts movie "Snoopy Come Home". Surprising our dog won, although he was brown, hairy and looked nothing like Snoopy. The other dogs just looked less like Snoopy 🤣

[@MrMark2024]

Thank you History Hunters for this wonderful piece. I just loved It's a great pumpkin, Charlie Brown. I used to watch that every Halloween. Who am I kidding, I still watch it today , some 55 years later. What memories it brings back. I love when you and Sarah do videos like this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Looking forward to your next adventure.

[@subgrv27]

To be in the town that's practically the home of Charles Schulz and Peanuts central is why I love living in Santa Rosa CA.

[@dannasilva9079]

We visited the Schultz museum a few years ago. Really enjoyed it! Thanks for taking us back :)

[@Imeraldgyrl]

Short, but highly informative and fun. Thanks for the upload. Glad you two had a good time.

[@jared1870]

I'm late watching this one, but you guys still kill me. "Like we don't know that we're in California?"

[@marcieconant5559]

He created so much joy for generations of children. My favorite Charlie Brown cartoon is A Charlie Brown Christmas. I love when Linus recites the Christmas story from the Bible. It always brought a tear to my eyes. 💕

[@jbenziggy]

I love that scene too! "That's what it's all about Charlie." Sadly we have strayed from the whole reason for the season.

[@lisaseverance6785]

Not many people know that he went to art school through a correspondence course. The Art institute...you know, the old draw me ads in magazines and comics. It's a legitimate school. I actually attended it myself. They were always very proud of him and produced a book about him that was given to every student. After taking classes, he later on taught there, critiquing students work. In fact, it was while working there he made friends with a couple other teachers...Charles Brown and Frieda, who was known for her naturally curly red hair...obviously he decided to put them in his Peanuts comics.

[@aulii11]

A flashback to the "before times" - I absolutely love it, and hope it won't be too much longer before it's open again!

[@tonypadilla1330]

Thank you. That was really nice. I needed that distraction. I hear the chocolate chip cookie calling me. Lol

[@stflaw]

Next to the museum is the ice rink that Schulz and his then-wife built. Schulz, having grown up in Minnesota, was an avid hockey player, a sport he continued to play well into old age. The ice rink has a coffee shop where Schulz ate lunch (the same meal) every day at the same table near the fireplace that was always reserved for him. Although it isn't advertised, the offices where Schulz worked and from where he ran his business is across a small park from the ice rink. Schulz worked there for some years after he and his first wife sold the Coffee Lane home in Sebastopol. I was able to identify the location after a little sleuthing. I don't know if the building is still associated with Schulz's businesses and/or the museum or was sold after his death. Sadly, Schulz's last home, and the one in which he died, was destroyed in the Sonoma County brush fire of a few years ago.

[@markdraskovics1962]

HEY, Hello Jeff & Sarah How are you guys doing... I really liked this video l have always loved Charles Schulz's work but (SNOOPY & WOODSTOCK) are my favorites characters from the Charlie Brown comics and the movies Wich I really love all so much well as much as a 58 Year old man can..I also really liked The museum as well it was awesome So wanted to say thank you for taking me along with you guys on this great Schultz, Peanuts and Snoopy adventure So thank you again take care be safe and God bless...

[@jbenziggy]

Thanks. Glad you liked it. This video isn't getting much attention but I halfway expected that. Some of us love Schulz and Peanuts! LOL

[@sassyfrass4295]

a delightful video its such a shame this place is closed. thank you for sharing it.

[@melissacooper4282]

Let's hope that someday when the Pandemic is over that they'll reopen the museum.

[@jimmyjames6267]

I live in Santa Rosa about 5 miles from the museum, i collect peanuts memorabilia from 60s thru 80s

[@jbenziggy]

WONDERFUL! I used to have some Schulz drawings but sold them. Stupid me! LOL

Hi Luis! Glad you enjoyed our video!

[@elizabethannmorahan6563]

Loved Peanuts since I was a kid

[@nadiazahroon6573]

I never understood why Charlie was bald? As a child I had a problem keeping who was who straight. Lovely trip Jeff and Sarah. Thank u both.

[@kermitdefrog.8332]

Charlie has hair but only 1 curl.

[@donaldscott7279]

I enjoyed thanks for the tour

[@mycatclaire9666]

I loved this piece of wholesome Americana, another great vlog you guys! I loved watching Mr. Schulz draw Linus, that kinda pulled at my heartstrings. I've been to his grave site at Pleasant Hills in Sebastopol, which is about 10 miles west of Santa Rosa, definitely worth a visit.

[@jbenziggy]

Glad you enjoyed it! Schulz was one great man beside a great cartoonist! We almost went to the grave but ran out of time on our trip up there!

[@lisaendress724]

I've been obsessed with Snoopy since I was a very little girl! I need an unlimited credit card to go the museum and buy every snoopy there!!!!!💕

[@jbenziggy]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@shigella63]

Another great video by Jeff and Sarah.

[@Slick2462]

Thanks Jeff and Sarah. I was not surprised to read in the comments that some of your other fans just like me are concerned about "Cancel Culture" targeting Peanuts comic characters? Sadly it is more than a possibility. Keep up your great work!

[@jbenziggy]

Thanks very much! We certainly will push on! Keep up the fight!

[@dancurran8977]

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed my visit there maybe 20 years ago. The museum has more features now it seems. Was the ice rink still in business when you visited?

[@jbenziggy]

I believe it was. We didn't stick our head in the door on that visit though. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@nicholedecker2979]

I loved Snoopy! Still do.😍

[@gaylesherman3236]

I love peanut

[@gaylesherman3236]

And Snoopy

[@ichhabe330]

I have found memories about the Peanuts. Came over it at my library in Hammerfest, Norway in 1973 and lend some books home. Been a fan ever since.

[@claudettedelphis6476]

This is Serendipity 🍄 Just finished watching the video from “Bay area and beyond with Paul “ who took us on a tour of Snoopy Santa Rosa. Sarah, you are so funny in the blue tub. Love your new penny. Thank you Jeff for inviting us 🇺🇸. As I subscribe to the Snoopy website and purchase so many memorable Snoopy: my favorite is the Snoopy on the red roof wall clock ⏰ And yes Sarah, I do have the decal of Lucy “psychiatric help ~ 5 cents ~ The Doctor is In “ Keeps me grounded 🦥 Always so entertaining following you. Indeed, Charles S was and is such a great artist, philosopher and peace maker 🪶 You are both beautiful and wonderful 🦚 Have a merry sunny day 🦩

[@tracey23bartholomew]

I love that Sarah collects pennies as I also collect them. Great episode really enjoyed it thanks xx

[@dianeadams353]

What a wonderful man Charles Schulz was and what a massive contribution to pop culture he created! Who doesn’t adore the Peanuts characters?😍thanks Jeff and Sarah!

[@marylouruss1087]

I realy enjoyed this one. I love all of the Peanut fafily. Thank you two so much. Sarah when i was able to travel i also collected the pennies.

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Always wanted to meet the man who gave so much happiness to the world, but I never made it over there to see/meet him...such a loss to the world! BTW, Sarah makes a great doctor!!! LOL

[@oldermusiclover]

LOVE Peanuts have to admit Charlie Brown and I have a lot in common

[@jamesminear2336]

And thank you!! Yes I will confirm it was closed on Valentines Day 2021 as I took my 6 ft tall girlfriend there... we were a little disappointed but found plenty else to do that day as we visited nearby Bodega Bay.. one of our favorite places.. Someday if you do an episode on the San Andreas Fault you might mention that it made Bodega Bay as it runs through the middle of it

[@fountainbiker]

Thanks Jeff & Sarah for the show. I had lived in Novato, CA just south of SR for 55 years and never visited the museum there, I wish I had. I thought it had burned down a few years ago with the big fires that swept through the area one summer.

[@conniephillips8217]

I certainly look like a lot of fun! Charles Schulz is honored in Minnesota especially Saint Paul, in many ways!

[@hobonickel]

Sadly the day may come when Snoopy, Linus, Charlie Brown, Lucy and the others are cancelled like The Cat in the Hat.

[@lisaendress724]

Snoopy will never be cancelled! 😉

[@Mont1.]

@@lisaendress724 If Snoopy gets cancelled, you always got Joe Cool.

[@nathanplatt5517]

My wife grew up in Santa Rosa California. She used to go ice skating all the time at Snoopy's Ice Arena which is the ice arena Charles Schulz built for the town which is right next door to the museum now. My wife has told me many stories of when she used to go ice skating there as a kid in the 90s Charles Schulz used to sit in the snack bar at a specific table every day and drink coffee and watch the kids ice skate. She even remembers him asking if she was having fun ice skating. If you go in the ice rink today they have I Memorial set up at that exact table

[@johnkelsey2482]

Very Good... Thanks...

So nice of you

Thanks for sharing about Charles Schulz. I noticed one thing in his bookcase, the biggest book was actually a series of study books on the Bible.

[@jbenziggy]

Charles was a devout Christian! And it showed in his work!
