Sonoma County / Charles Schulz airport


Schulz had long ties to Santa Rosa and to Sonoma County. He and his first wife, Joyce, built a home in the city of Sebastopol in 1958. The airport in Santa Rosa Airport is officially titled the Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport and features bronze sculptures of the Peanuts characters. Its logo is Snoopy flying on top of his doghouse.

  1. Sadly, Mr. Schulz's house burned down a couple of days ago in the Santa Rosa area fires. The airport and museum are untouched, so far.

    1. yes, reading a story about the house which mentioned the airport was how I was tipped off to this, sadly. Without that mention of it, I would have never heard of this
