Casa de La Guerra, Santa Barbara

Casa de La Guerra dates back to a time between 1818 and 1828 when José de la Guerra was the Presidio commander. The de la Guerra family lived in this home until 1943. The Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation did renovations during the 1990s that restored this home to its original state as an adobe house.

Exhibits that visitors can see include exciting information about the house's architectural history, as well as the de la Guerra family. There are two rooms that host regular changing exhibits. Most of these exhibits are about California's Hispanic heritage and other fascinating aspects of local history.

This house also has a gift shop that visitors will enjoy stopping by in their travels. Some of the goodies that await include books about the local history, puzzles and games, and local food items such as chocolate, honey, and olive oil.
