Costa Mesa's Diego Sepulveda Adobe has long been a sought-out destination for visitors, from traveling Spanish missionaries to vaqueros seeking rest on long cattle drives to residents looking to connect with the area's storied past. Originally built in 1823, the modest clay-brick structure sits in the city's Estancia Park on Adams Avenue overlooking the Santa Ana River bed and today serves as a historical museum open to the public the first and third Saturdays of each month. This Saturday, members of the Costa Mesa Historical Society will honor the provenance of the adobe in a 200th birthday 'popsicle social' that will include on-site tours with volunteer docents, live bluegrass music from the Sweetwater Creek Band, activities for children and ice pops provided by La Michoacana Costa Mesa.
