Join us at Castro Adobe State Historic Park for an open house event, “Festivos en el Rancho (Holidays at the Rancho).” Located in Larkin Valley, near Watsonville, the two-story Castro Adobe, built between 1848-49, is one of the finest examples of a rancho hacienda in the Monterey Bay area. Open House visitors will be able to tour the property including the restored cocina (kitchen) and the Potter-Church Garden. The garden is a unique outdoor space originally created by then-owners Elizabeth and David Potter (1968-72), in consultation with noted landscape architect Thomas Church.

Make tortillas, stroll through the historic garden and learn about the next CA State Historic Park. Parking is limited; carpooling is encouraged. On leash dogs allowed in parking area only.
