1st and 3rd Saturdays: 12p-4p
Other times available by appointment
The Adobe encompasses nearly 200 years of Costa Mesa history in beautiful Estancia Park overlooking the Santa Ana River bed.
There are artifacts from the first native inhabitants, the adobe from the Spanish settlers and the Mission Period, and up to the first World War where it held the meetings of an American Legion Post. They even discovered the skeleton of a mastodon.
In addition to the historical and cultural displays, the interiors and furniture are also done in period pieces.
