It is difficult to imagine—although some remember it well—the excitement that the race for the moon invoked forty years ago. As the decade of the 1960s was coming to a close, America and the rest of the world waited with great anticipation to see if NASA could achieve President John F. Kennedy’s challenge, put forth in May 1961, of putting a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Consequently, it was a very great honor, indeed, when the crew of Apollo 10 chose to nickname their command and lunar modules Charlie Brown and Snoopy, respectively. This exhibition examines the history of Apollo 10 and the Peanuts characters’ role in that flight and in the NASA Manned Flight Awareness safety program.

In April and May 1968, cartoonist Charles M. Schulz developed a series of eleven comic strips based on an unusual event that caught his imagination—the World Wristwrestling Championship held annually in Petaluma, California. Peanuts Comes to Petaluma includes this amusing series of strips plus additional archival material on the history of the World Wristwrestling Championship, including photographs of the memorial sculpture by Rosa Estabanez and columns by legendary Argus Courier columnist Bill Soberanes. Funded by a grant from the Santa Rosa Junior College Foundation, Randolph Newman Cultural Enrichment Endowment.

During its nearly fifty year history, the Peanuts comic strip grew to have a strong connection with the winter season, especially Christmas.  This exhibition celebrates the holiday season with a presentation of the winter sports that Schulz himself enjoyed; a behind-the-scenes history of the making of the animated classic, A Charlie Brown Christmas; and a holiday narrative as explored in the Peanuts comic strip.

This exhibition contains reproduction comic strips, quotes by Schulz, photos from his boyhood, artifacts from A Charlie Brown Christmas special, and seasonal novelties.
