Drawing Inspiration from Schulz 
For many years, though thousands flocked to exhibits in the United States and around the world to see the work of Charles M. Schulz, his original comic strips had never had a proper home in Sonoma County, the place Schulz called home for almost forty years.

As the 50th anniversary of Peanuts drew closer, it seemed clear that there must be a museum, but Schulz (called Sparky by family and friends), who worked daily at his comic strip, did not think of himself as “a museum piece.”  The vision for the Museum, then, fell on the shoulders of three friends—local cartoon historian, Mark Cohen; the cartoonist's wife, Jeannie; and Sparky's longtime friend and attorney, Edwin Anderson—who were driven by the desire to show how Schulz's work inspired, healed, and taught us all what it means to be part of the human family.
