Great place to visit

Well preserved house. You have to book it online to get a tour and access inside. The house is nice and the tour guide gives you a history of its famous occupant, Thomas Fallon. The guide is very knowledgeable about its history. The items inside the house have their own unique stories, such as the artwork made of hair that resembles a tree.

If you are a history buff or interested in the history of the city you are staying at, you must take a tour here. Scott and Sarah are great guides and the behind the scenes stories are wonderful.

We just had a fun experience @ Adobe Fallon House with our 4th grader class. The students really enjoy the 1800 mid century experience and the chaperones were part of the education. Students were split into groups to rotate the many work stations. Students were able to try out clothes and experience the way they were dress, they learn to make fire, throw a rope to the fake bull. I was part of the chaperone who taught the kids how to make mint tea and old fashion corn tortillas, which the kids got to make and taste, kids also learn to play with the different tools. They had so much fun with hands on information, rather than just reading about it. The young ladies leading the groups were very helpful and very upbeat to teach. The only hard part is having restaurants surroundings the Adobe house with tempting bbq smoke smells and not able to move from the learning group. The San Pedro Square smells delicious!! I will be back to have a seat next to the Adobe House.
