Luther Burbank lived and worked in Santa Rosa at the turn of the 20th Century, experimenting with plants and developing new food sources. His home and gardens are located in downtown Santa Rosa, and open to the public. (The City of Burbank is NOT named for Luther Burbank, but for a New Hampshire born dentist and late 19th Century land owner, Dr. David Burbank.)

You can see the home and works of another prominent Santa Rosan if you visit the recently opened (August 16, 2002) Charles M Schulz Museum. The Museum is a short ride by Santa Rosa CityBus Rte 17 from Third Street adjacent to the Marriot or from the downtown Transit Mall.
