We turned a corner driving along the Presidio in Monterey and came upon this small Museum featuring…read morethe Cavalry that was stationed at the Presidio Army Base. The museum presents the history using great artifacts like saddles, bridles, and full size horse and soldier mannikins decked out in full regalia. The history progresses chronologically since the time of the discovery of the Monterey Bay, and gives a great overview of military activity in the area. Some short videos displayed on a TV fill in the print and poster information using footage of Army activities from various eras. A very personable docent greeted us and narrated quite a bit of the historical background of the area as well, which gave some context for the displays. There are hiking trails up the hill behind the museum to the Sloat Monument, and we look forward to returning on a sunny day to enjoy the view and perhaps a picnic!

This is a public library - so naturally there is an appropriate educate one needs to follow when attending this facility. Other reviewers are critical of the staff and how they handle situations. I've had the pleasure to attend this library long enough to see situations handled both well, and others that could use improvement but overall I applaud the staff at the library for doing their very tough job. You all do a much better job than I would be able to. Thank you for your hard work for our community!

My favorite part was that they have a decent selection of Spanish books being that I'm trying to teach my baby how to read in Spanish first.

And it seems like a peaceful place. According to Mr Google Soledad is a great place to raise a family, however the city lacks resources such as jobs & entertainment. On the plus side, Soledad is a major wine producer. Hey, this might be a great alternative to Napa, a getaway visiting vineyards and tasting rooms. Anyway, sadly, I only know Soledad as the place I always stop for gas along Highway 101 from San Francisco to SoCal. Next time I'll remedy that.

Home to Soledad State Prison/Salinas Valley State Prison LOL Ok but honestly City of Soledad has a lot more to offer than just the prisons.... Pinnacles National Park, Soledad Mission , Paraiso Hot Springs, AND not to mention the MANY wineries such as Chalone, Scheid, Paraiso Vineyards, Pisoni Vineyards, Hahn Estate, San Saba, J. Lohr, Kendall-Jackson, Ventana, Hess Select, Estancia, The Michaud Vineyard and Graff Family Vineyards. Soledad is seated at the heart of one of the most economically productive and technologically advanced agricultural regions in the world; hence, the Salinas Valley name, "Salad Bowl of the World." Agricultural companies working out of this region include Dole Fresh Vegetables, Tanimura & Antle Fresh Foods, Taylor Farms, D'Arrigo Brothers Inc., Mann Packing Inc., Merrill Farms and Braga Farms. ALSO fun fact Soledad is used as a backdrop in John Steinbeck's 1937 novel of Mice and Men **Visit the Pinnacles....go to the Wineries.....stay away from the prisons... get some fresh produce at a great price.... get back on the highway....
