Bedrock mortars for acorn grinding
We have owned Adelaida Springs Ranch for just 10 years, but it has been home to humans for thousands of years, from Native American acorn gatherers to mission-era herders and finally to American miners and homesteaders in the 19th century. Our ranch is adjacent to the historic Klau and Buena Vista Mines, which were the commercial hub of the area as early as 1870. Previous owners include Marshall Sawyer, whose father Frank Sawyer was the house physician and general manager of the then-grand Hotel De Paso Robles spa at the turn of the century. One of our long term goals is to publish information about local homesteaders and document the title and occupying family history of each of the parcels here on the ranch. We are aware of at least six homestead sites on Adelaida Springs Ranch that include owner names like Pool, Kuhlman, Botts, Marsh, Downing, Taylor, Wallace, Genter and Andrews. Possibly this type of community research effort can be expanded to encompass the entire Adelaida district. If you have special knowledge of Adelaida area history that you would like share, or you would like to be involved in an Adelaida History Project, please contact me.
