La Casa de Machado y Stewart Review

The best way to see this little exhibit is to take the walking tour. If not, you'll still get to see inside this nice little house. The only way inside and to get a feel of this place and how things were is to be included in the free walking tour. They unlock the doors and you'll see and learn things you wouldn't if walking up on your own. The exhibits show the bedroom and dining room. Outside is the oven and fire pit. There's also some great plants outside. Makes for a great setting. This exhibit is off the beaten path a bit, but like everything else in the park, it should not be missed.

Jose Machado built this adobe structure in the 1830s. Machado was a Spanish soldier on duty at the Presidio (Spain's first military fort in California) which was perched on a hill overlooking the Old Town. The Machado house is one of five historic, original adobes left in the Old Town State Park.
