Boronda Adobe History Center

The Boronda Adobe was built by José Eusebio Boronda in the mid-1840’s. I read about this place and thought it might be a lovely historical spot to use to take pictures of a bride and groom. We did a drive through on Friday and could see that this was a charming little location. Not fancy, but it is the only historical adobe building in Salinas that I could track down. Also a cute little red school building and interesting rusted out tractors.
So we rushed through everything on the wedding day to be able to get to this place before 5, which I assumed would be the closing. After all, if it’s supposed to be for tourists, it would be open on the weekend, right? Wrong. We arrived at 4:40 and the gated fence was all locked up. I have since looked everywhere online and have found their hours of operation listed NOWHERE. How much would it cost for a sign on the chain link fence to say the days/​hours of operation? How about putting that information on the Monterey County Historical Society website? Or even posting the days/​hours on Unilocal?Poorly thought out.
