"Behind these adobe walls, you will meet the John Rogers Cooper Family, who witnessed the changes in Monterey from its days as a capitol of Mexican California through statehood in 1850. Captain Cooper was from New England, immigrated to California and married into a Mexican family. As a ship captain Cooper traveled extensively trading in hides, tallow, general merchandise and sea otter pelts.
