4 /5 Ankit Patel: Novato’s history museum makes a good counterpoint to the local American Indian Museum. Together they tell the story of the Marin area’s two main cultures. A treasure trove of 19th-century bric-a-brac, it gives you a feel for what life was like in this old Californian town.
The museum is the old postmaster’s house and the exhibits walk you through the area’s past using documents, artifacts, and oral histories.
Head here before walking the old town to enrich your ambling.
