The Old Homestead
Landmark #731 Contra Costa County Visited: February 15, 2014 Plaque?  YES! 🙂
What is it? The still-standing home of Thomas Edwards, Sr!
What makes it historical? THE GUIDE SAYS: This was the first American home in Crockett, located on an earlier Indian village near the Carquinez Straits. Constructed in 1867 by Thomas Edwards, Sr., on land purchased in 1866 from Judge J. B. Crockett, its timbers, some of them brought around the Horn, have been well preserved.

OTHER TIDBITS: That pretty well sums it up!
How can I Help the Helpers? HERE’S HOW:

  • Have an event at the Old Homestead!
  • Be a responsible visitor! Please respect the signs and pathways, and treat all structures and artifacts with respect. They’ve endured a lot to survive into the present. They’ll need our help to make it into the future!
