Old Town San Diego State Historic Park recreates life in the Mexican and early American periods of 1821 to 1872. It is called the Birthplace of California because it was the first European settlement on the West Coast. Five original adobes are part of the complex, which includes shops, restaurants, and a museum. Now, 37 historic buildings demonstrate the early pueblo period.

On your personally guided walking tour, you’ll explore the lifestyles of the Mexican and American pioneers. Experience the days of the dons at La Casa de Estudillo, an adobe mansion built around a garden courtyard, or at La Casa de Machado y Stewart, an adobe home full of artifacts that reflect ordinary life of the period.
