The Pacific House Museum is comprised of various exhibits, including one the Presidio that was built by the Spanish Royal Crown in Monterey.
The Presidio was constructed in 1770, most out of stone and wood. A wall had been built around the buildings within the Presidio. However, after a mere 7 years, most of the wooden structures within the Presidio had fallen apart.
The Rumsien Indians lived in Monterey at the time the Spanish had established themselves in the area.
