See All There Is To Do In Historical Old Town Temecula...
Preserving Temecula's Old West heritage and charm has been a success as the beautifully restored Old Town Temecula has become a favorite spot for one-of-a-kind shopping and exploring with antique dealers, art galleries, exclusive boutiques, museums, unique dining, weekly Farmer's Market and special events year round.
In Old Town Temecula you'll find that elusive piece of art you've been looking for or that unusual and tasteful gift for the person who has everything. Or, take in a show at The Old Town Temecula Community Theater or The Merc Theater and finish a perfect day with an outstanding meal from one of the excellent Old Town restaurants and lounges.
History buffs (Watch the brief Old Town Temecula History video below) can wander the streets of Old Town Temecula viewing rustic buildings, sidewalks and storefronts reminiscent of our historic golden west in the 1880's.
Old Town Temecula has been around since 1882 when the California Railroad came through the valley and local investors created the first Bank. Old Town still retains many of it's original historical features... Such As...
Temecula was established in 1859 and boasted the first inland post office in California that same year. It sat in the Wolfe Store in Old Town on Front Street. The wooden planks on the sidewalks were originally put in place to protect the long skirts worn by ladies at the time from the mud...
What is still the Palomar Inn was built in 1927 in what was considered a "suburb," and is not the oldest local building in Old Town. Buildings closer to Main Street were among the first to stand in Old Town, and some of them have rich histories. For example, Rose's Cantina is the 1884 site of the Temecula Inn, where locals served alcohol illegally.
Another surprising fact about Old Town? Many of the older-looking buildings are fairly new, meant to match the historical style, thanks to a group known as the Old Town Review Board. That old wooden water tower along Front Street?... "About 25 years old," says Moore, a Temecula Valley Musuem Historian. Temecula resident Sandy Mac Adams said the city's goal to maintain the look and feel of yesteryear is what she appreciates most about the area.
