Reid-Baldwin Adobe 107 South Baldwin Avenue, Arcadia, CA 91007

The Reid-Baldwin Adobe, located at 107 South Baldwin Avenue in Arcadia, California, is a museum that is currently undergoing restoration thanks to funding from the Moonlight Forest Lantern Festival. The restoration project, scheduled for completion in early 2022, aims to restore the Adobe to its appearance in 1900 when Elias J. "Lucky" Baldwin resided there. The project includes enhancements such as new windows, doors, and a pitched roof, as well as restoration of the brick apron and veranda stairs. The landscape surrounding the Adobe will also be partially reconstructed.

The Adobe, originally known as the Hugo Reid Adobe, has a rich history dating back to the early rancho era in California. The restoration project, funded by a grant from former Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich, is a milestone in historical preservation and education at the Arboretum.

Visitors can look forward to exploring the newly restored Reid-Baldwin Adobe and learning about the important chapters of California history that it represents. The museum is accessible for disabled visitors and offers special rates for adults, students, seniors, and children. Advance reservations are required for Free Day at the Arboretum, held on the third Tuesday of each month. Visitors can also seek gardening advice from the Arboretum's experts.

We invite you to join us in celebrating the completion of the restoration project in 2022 and to explore the rich history of the Reid-Baldwin Adobe.
