Education
The Sharpsteen Museum is an integral part of Calistoga’s educational landscape.
Local students are welcomed into the museum while in elementary school and continue through various events and programs through high school to enhance their historical knowledge of this region, which is tied to California's education standards. Our programs include private tours for individual classes and annual scholarship grants.
