Monterey State Historic Park
Description
This is one of this beautiful city's many attractions. You can tour numerous historic period homes that date back to the 1800s as well as early adobe buildings. Each house is fully restored to its original condition and is decorated with authentic antiques to match. There are also sculpture gardens you can tour. Come experience a piece of regional and European colonial history. Admission to the park is free; see website for info on special SHP events such as the Monterey Living History Festival.
There are very limited opening times of the Park due to the CA cost saving measures. The Main museum building is only open at weekends and many of the adobes are closed even at weekends. There are still walking tours during the week but the buildings are closed.
Shame since it looks like a good way to spend a few hours during the week when things are a little quieter.
Walk through the history of Monterey and early California. The entire area is full of historical buildings. You won't be sorry if you take the time to explore.
