The Rios-Caledonia Adobe is located on an old stage road, and served as a sort of halfway point between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Back in the 19th Century it was a functioning hotel and saloon. When the stagecoach days ended, and the days of the automobile began, the new owners installed a "visible" gas pump, and it served as an important rest stop on U.S. 101. In fact, the driveway you go down is actually a SEGMENT of the ORIGINAL U.S. 101 roadway ITSELF! Not to be missed if you are in the area! Go there to see the history of travel before freeways.

This historic adobe has really been through the mill. When you consider it was built in 1850,…read moreRebuilt in the 20's and in its present form rebuilt again in the 60's. The Friends of the Adobe are some committed historians to have done such a fine job in putting this place back together and collecting the artifacts to fill the museum. I cam through a couple months ago and the place was being put back together after some major building re-enforcement's, I spoke with a curator and was told of the once a year event Caledonia Day. I Came back for Caledonia Day, a late September event, and found the place fully back together, with the museum in good shape and the gift store packed, and lots of different groups supporting the events annual whoop de do. It included dutch oven cook off, old time engines, a small car show, ice cream. BBQ and more. Now back to the Adobe and grounds. There is an upstairs and ground level to the museum. It has many historical photos, labelled well, and even a mammoth tusk discovered nearby in 1969 WOW. The upstairs is a historical display of life in an earlier time. For those interested in the early California History it is a good display. The Rios Caledonia Adobe is California Historical Landmark No. 936. There is a very nice library and historical reference building that is available for researchers of California History.

There is one…read morelaughing female staff person who does so while hyperventilating and making remarks about what people are doing on the public computers which are placed directly in front of the main desk. It is  completely baffling why she's not being disciplined. It's utterly useless to try and get any work done here with her "working" there. I reported it but she is still (employed?) there. All of the libraries in the County of San Luis Obispo are peculiarly unconventional from what have been historically designed to be quiet environments. Anymore, the norm seems to have morphed into a social scene, allowing places for people to entertain their children. Avoid this library at all cost. Being nearly vacant, it seems that would-be patrons do.
