The Reyes Adobe Historical Site in Agoura Hills offers a captivating glimpse into California's Rancho era. Built circa 1850 by Jose Paulino Reyes, son of Jose Jacinto Reyes, this meticulously preserved adobe home stands as a testament to the region's rich history. The story begins with Juan Francisco Reyes, a soldier on the Portola expedition, whose descendants shaped the area. The adobe reflects the architectural style of the period, with thick adobe walls providing insulation against the California climate. The site features furnished rooms depicting life in the 1850s, offering a glimpse into the daily routines of early California settlers. The barn has been transformed into a museum, housing artifacts, photographs, and documents that tell the story of the Reyes family and the surrounding community. Visitors can explore exhibits detailing the history of Rancho Las Virgenes and the impact of the Mexican-American War. The City of Agoura Hills acquired the Reyes Adobe in 1983 and has since maintained it as a museum and cultural center. The site is a dynamic center for education and community engagement, offering guided tours and interactive exhibits. While currently closed for renovations, the Reyes Adobe plans to reopen for private and public tours in the near future. Check the City of Agoura Hills website for updates.
