Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead
|
ESTABLISHED AROUND 1870, and featuring one of the area's oldest adobe homes from the American era, the Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead is a remarkable survivor of San Diego's rural history and, as such, has a special role to play in preserving the legacy of old California. The historic site has been restored to its period of significance when it was occupied by the Sikes family. Thus, we are able to learn what life was like for the pioneer settlers in San Diego shortly after statehood. The farmhouse was built by Zenas Sikes one of the earliest ranchers to settle in California during the westward expansion. Today, the farmstead is also a certified farmers market.
