San Miguel History Project

This month we share one of Tom Taylors Flash Histories.  This one is about California's Grizzly Bear.   Tom's writings are always interesting and give you a snapshot background on history in the Central Coast.   Enjoy! 

This month I give you a little background on a concerned citizen back in the 1920's who saw an old abandoned Adobe building that he felt needed to be preserved because of its historic value.  So, he made it his mission to restore it and open it as a museum which he called the "Old Adobe".  That would be  the present day Friends of the Adobes which has continued to serve the community maintaining the Rios-Caledonia (for over 50 years now).  They are continually seeking new members, supporters, and especially volunteers to help with their work.  If that's something you'd like to get involved in, please contact Laverne @ 805-467-3467 or friendsoftheadobes@gmail.com

This month we share Tom Taylor's "Flash History" about the flood of 1869 followed by news clippings regarding the flood of 1969 and washing out the Salinas River bridge again.

This month we've selected some history about the early San Miguel community working together to get a bridge across the Salinas River.
