Cooper-Molera Adobe
Cooper-Molera Adobe Review
The restored 2-acre complex includes a house dating from the 1820s, a bookstore, and a large garden enclosed by a high adobe wall. The mostly Victorian-era antiques and memorabilia that fill the house provide a glimpse into the life of a prosperous sea merchant's family. If the house is closed, you can still stop by the visitor center and pick up walking-tour maps and stroll the grounds.
