Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, Historic state park in San Diego, United States.

The park encompasses numerous restored 19th-century buildings, museums, and period-specific shops spread across several blocks in central San Diego.

Established in 1968, this area preserves the original Euro-American settlement from the 1820s when San Diego belonged to the Mexican territory.

The park features daily demonstrations of traditional crafts, historical reenactments, and interpretive programs showcasing life during the Mexican and early American periods.

Visitors can explore the park and its museums free of charge between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with guided tours available throughout the day.

The site includes five original adobe structures, including the Casa de Estudillo, which stands as a National Historic Landmark from California's early settlement period.
