The Dana Adobe or “Casa de Dana” lies about 25 miles south of San Luis Obispo. It
was one of the earliest adobe dwellings built-in San Luis Obispo County and became the celebrated home of Captain William Goodwin Dana, hiswife Maria Josefa Carrillo Dana and their very large family. The site is a registered historical site and nationally recognized. Dana Adobe Nipomo Amigos, the stewards and caretakers of the Adobe, the Cultural Center, trails and gardens, mission is to engage visitors with the stories of California’s Rancho Era History, connecting them with the peoples, the land and its resources to foster environmental stewardship and cultural understanding.
