Monterey State Historic Park, Historic state park in Monterey, United States
The Monterey State Historic Park holds several preserved buildings representing architectural styles spanning from Spanish colonial times through the 1900s.
The Custom House, constructed in 1827 under Mexican governance, stands as California's oldest public building and first designated historical landmark.
Each building within the park tells different stories of Spanish, Mexican, and American influences that shaped California's early development.
The California Department of Parks and Recreation maintains guided tours through the park's 17 historic structures all year round.
Whale vertebrae form distinctive walkways at the Old Whaling Station, which transformed from a residence to a whaling company headquarters in 1855.
