Rios-Caledonia Adobe
 

The inn may not have been a place you wanted to take the family. It had a reputation for a seedy clientele, including the Dalton Brothers and Frank & Jesse James.

In 1886 the Southern Pacific Railroad arrived in San Miguel, bringing a touch of civilization. Despite once having an infamous reputation, the adobe went on to become a tailor shop, an upholstery shop, post office and even a school.
While the idea of opening it to the public originated as far back as 1923 when Charles Dorries purchased it along with some local property, it wasn't until 1964 that it was purchased by the county and plans were made to convert it into a museum.
