Sacramento & the Central Valley
Set on a beautiful, shaded piece of land overlooking a languorous section of the Sacramento River, this park preserves the original one-room adobe house, old forge and grounds of pioneer William B Ide, who ‘fought’ in the 1846 Bear Flag Revolt at Sonoma. He became president of the California Bear Republic, which lasted 25 days.
Head about a mile north on Main St, turn east onto Adobe Rd and go another mile, following the signs.
