Thursday marks the 35th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake. Most remember it for the damage it caused, but it was also the catalyst for the Castro Adobe’s journey to become a state historic park. Community efforts helped repair, restore, furnish and interpret the meaning of the Larkin Valley adobe, and since earlier this year it has been open for the public to enjoy during open house events. Bonny Hawley, executive director of Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks, shares the story of saving the Castro Adobe here.
