JOSE DOLORES GARCIA
Jose Dolores Garcia was a prominent
citizen of San Juan Capistrano who was
of Juaneno Indian and Spanish descent.
In 1862 he married Maria Refugia Yorba
at the Mission. He promised her a new
and unique house. After extensive
research on horseback in the Anaheim
area, he built this Victorian-style house
around 1870. Here they lived happily
until his untimely death in 1897. His
grieving widow then sold the home.

CROSSROADS TO WAR
During the Civil War, this junction of Hunter
Mill Road and the Alexandria, Loudoun, &
Hampshire Railroad was a vital crossroads as
Union and Confederate troops moved along the
tracks between Vienna and Leesburg. In Sept,
1862, the Confederate Brig. Gen. Wade Hampton's
cavalry brigade passed here on route to 
Maryland during the Antietam campaign. Traveling
on the way to Pennsylvania on 17 June 1863,
part of the Union's Army of the Potomac
bivouacked just north of here, followed by the
army's commander, Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker, on 26
June. The next day, Confederate Maj. Gen. J.E.B.
Stuart also passed here en route to Gettysburg.

Hurricane Gustav roared through Baton Rouge on September 1, 2008. Traffic on the Mississippi River was shut down. Ninety-mile per hour winds uprooted thousands of mature oak trees. Houses were split in two. Power transformers were destroyed.  
The force of Gustav's winds blew through a one-inch crack in the sliding door and ripped this hole in the east wall.   
We've preserved this breach to expose the Old State Capitol's bones, and give visitors a look at the original construction

On September 21, 1779
Col. Dickson commanding the
British post at Baton Rouge

Gov. Galvez and his American Allies.
