Castro Adobe State Historic Park

Castro Adobe State Historic Park, located in Watsonville, California, is a historic rancho hacienda built between 1848 and 1849, serving as one of the social centers of the central California coast. The park offers visitors a glimpse into vaquero culture through exhibits, guided tours, and special events that celebrate the rich history of the region.

Set on the traditional lands of the Awaswas-speaking Aptos tribe, the park emphasizes community involvement and educational programs, including the Kids2Parks initiative, which provides access to state parks for students from Title I schools.
