This is a nice little stop off of the freeway. Its literally across the street from Mission San Miguel Arcangel, and actually has a lot of history to it. 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 to see the history of travel before freeways.

This is a beautiful historic old adobe building that was once a stage stop inn, a home, a school house, and it is furnished from the Old California Spanish period and has a gift shop full of interesting books and other items, including a lot of antiques. The staff is friendly and it’s a nice place to picnic in the shade. Admission is free.

History abounds at the Rios Caledonia Adobe. it’s a worthwhile stop. It is another esoteric part of California history. Watch out for the seasonal wonderful crafts. Sometimes there are so many and they are really a bargain!
