The Sharpsteen Museum's exhibits are designed to present the history of the upper Napa Valley from its pre-history to post World War I. In addition to its many historical exhibits, the Museum depicts Calistoga during its period as the elegant 1860s Hot Springs resort developed by pioneer, promoter, publisher, entrepreneur, and California's first millionaire, Sam Brannan.
The Museum was a put together by Ben and Bernice Sharpsteen. In 1978, they completed construction of the museum building which they donated to the City of Calistoga.
