  Historic Trails we Know. Bell markers of the Camino Real are located in many places. This one is inside Reyes Adobe Historical Site in Agoura Hills. The plaque indicates this marker as an Eagle Scout project. The Camino Real, meaning “The Royal Road” (or “King’s Highway”), is a commemorative historic route that connects the 21 Spanish missions, along with sub-missions, presidios, and pueblos, spanning from Mission San Diego de Alcalá in the south to Mission San Francisco Solano in Sonoma in the north. We will share other Bell markers we have discovered. #scoutmasterjose_historictrails #abuelosmochileros_historictrails #abuelosmochileros_agourahills #geolandmarks

  I learned about The Reyes Adobe via the "Passport 2 History" which has many local museums and historical sites in it that you wouldn't know existed! I always try to be fair in my rating system and rate things based off their potential. For example, I recently rated the (somewhat) nearby Pleasant Valley Historical Society Museum and Botanical Gardens a 5 because they're really doing the most with what they have. I hate to give a free museum less than 4 stars, but there just wasn't that much to do or see at this one. They had some cool things, but really nothing hands on. The tour begins with a 10 minute video, which we didn't make it through as I had my 3 year old with us. The house itself had some neat things to see, and I learned some interesting things... The highlights for me was learning that the phrase "sleep tight" comes from the old beds that literally are on ropes that you can adjust! And that the bread was divided based on status... the workers got the more burnt bottom part, and so on up, which is where we get "the upper crust". Make sure you see the original mission bell outside that was moved here for an eagle scout project in 1988. Also, the artifacts in the original barn (where the welcome center is) is probably the coolest part. I really enjoyed the room behind the main room that has special events. That room was pretty relaxing for some reason. After visiting a bunch of these, I just felt that The Reyes Adobe was a bit less exciting than the others with less to do. I hear they have an amazing Halloween festival, so we'll have to check that out! If you're into history, this is definitely a place you can explore. I would personally bundle this in with a few surrounding museums and that will make for a nice day! But my toddler wasn't really having this one. Very nice folks who worked here though! A+ for them!

  Beautifully restored Adobe and barn, which is now used as the visitor's center. Rooms in the adobe are the bedroom and kitchen filled with historic artifacts and recreations. Free entry and parking. Children's games and activities.

  I came here to do a weaving demo for the Reyes Adobe Historic event in October. The park surrounded the house and was well kept the house was very interesting and we weavers were on the back porch under an Arbor. The event is for families lots of activities for the childern with prizes. It is free and lots of fun. Live bands food trucks petting zoo blacksmith everyone was HAPPY!

  Love CA history. Hours are an absolute bummer. Would have liked to see inside but appreciate the preserved house/land.
