Interesting California history. Grounds are gorgeous. Adobe lifestyle depiction is accurate. Great docents.
The adobe home was built in 1826 and has been listed as California Historical Landmark No. 152. It is now a historical museum, open to the public via reservation for docent-guided tours. The grounds are closed to the public. You must make a reservation on our website to take a docent let tour of the Adobe home.
