California Historical Landmark #455

I stopped at these waymarks in Concord briefly on my way home from the EHR workflow walkthrough last week.

The plaque was located at the northeast corner of Grant and Solano Way, Concord, California. There are 14 other California State Historical Landmarks in Contra Costa County. The GPS coordinates for this location are N 37° 59.366 W 122° 02.462.

Although it looks like it was there as recently as two years ago, the plaque originally placed July 19, 1958 is now missing from the monument. When it was there, the plaque read:

One-quarter mile north of this spot is the site of the adobe house constructed in 1843 by Don Fernando Pacheco. Reconstructed in 1941, it is preserved as a memento of the historic past of Contra Costa County.

The adobe itself serves as the Contra Costa Horseman's Association and is located at 3119 Grant Street, Concord, California. The GPS coordinates for this location are N 37° 59' 46.46" W 122° 2' 35.85".
