Rancho Los Cerritos in Long Beach hosts the annual Mud Mania on July 7, 2018 — activities include adobe brick-making.
Many of California’s missions offer history days for the public to see adobe brick demonstrations and other skills that helped turn California into a gleaming, high-rise civilization.
While mud holds a special interest for kids who love to get dirty at places such as Adventure Playground in Huntington Beach and Berkeley, there’s another interesting facet to its application as seen in those old adobe buildings.
