History buffs, antique
collectors and window shoppers will take a step back in
time wandering the streets of Old Town Temecula viewing
rustic buildings, sidewalks, and store fronts
reminiscent of our historic golden west. The town was
born in 1882 when the California Railroad came through
the valley. “Old Town” Temecula was the site of the
Butterfield Overland Stagecoach Stop and California’s
first inland Post Office. Sam Hicks Monument, made from
a granite boulder 11 feet high weighing 15 tons, honors
56 important people who influenced the unique and rugged
character of Temecula. You’ll still feel the presence
of mountain men like Jedediah Smith and Kit Carson who
once “passed this way” in addition to authors like Helen
Hunt-Jackson and Earl Stanley Gardner.
