This is one of this beautiful city's many attractions. You can tour numerous historic period homes that date back to the 1800s as well as early adobe buildings. Each house is fully restored to its original condition and is decorated with authentic antiques to match. There are also sculpture gardens you can tour (from May through September every Tuesday at 1p). The historic homes are open for tours daily. Come experience a piece of regional and European colonial history. Admission to the park is free; walking tours are conducted on the hour starting at 11 a.m. Meet at the Stanton Center. See website for info on special SHP events such as the Monterey Living History Festival.
