History
Sharpsteen Museum Rich in history Calistoga has worked diligently to incorporate the new with the old, and has successfully melded the historical concept of Americana-small-town with the currency of the computer and the information age. Side-by-side with million year old geysers are the spas offering mineral soaks or mud baths, Aromatherapy and masseuses trained to soothe the sore muscles of a rush-rush world. Also found are the shops offering herbal and natural products from green-grocers to mineral soaps, natural cottons and silks to rayon and polyesters. And, of course, Calistoga is the home of Calistoga Mineral Water and Crystal Geyser Water, those bottled natural compounds that refresh and sustain life.

The Legend of the Geysers
- Long, long ago, the peaceful Ashochimi Indian tribe inhabited a rich and luxuriant valley on both sides of a river, now known as the Russian River north of San Francisco.

History of Calistoga Water
- For hundreds of years the Wappo Indians traveled to the source to soak in the hot mineral pools. The Wappo tribe called the region "Tu-la-halusi...land of health-giving springs." They enjoyed the water mixed with the juice of fruit and berries that grew so abundantly in the valley.
