Monterey State Historic Park

Eleven historic Monterey buildings, most of them dating back to the time when Monterey was the capital of Spanish Alta California, make up Monterey State Historic Park. The buildings are integrated in the Monterey Path of History. I have provided a virtual tour of the entire path, covering 62 sites, including all of the State Historic Park sites. Just go to my Path of History starting page or click any of the links below to get directly to the respective building. Check the California State Parks website for more information.

California's First Theatre

Casa Soberanes

Cooper-Molera Adobe

Custom House

First Brick House

Larkin House

Pacific House

Sherman Quarters

Stevenson House

The Boston Store (Casa De Oro)

Whaling Station

The Path of History connects a number of historic buildings, monuments and other sites (my personal unofficial count is 62) and combines them to a highly enjoyable and educational 2-3 hour walk through historic Monterey. The Path and all its sites are clearely marked. Start at any place and follow the markers in six languages. Check the Monterey County website for a larger map and a brief description.

California Historic Landmarks

Fourteen of the sites along the path are designated California Historic Landmarks. On this page, these buildings are marked "LM." On the following pages, they are identified by the seal of the State of California.
