The Vallejo Adobe was part of the Mission San Jose
property where rancheros would watch the cattle. As
the Spaniards lost control to the Mexicans, Don Jose
de Jesus Vallejo oversaw activities and later was
given owner's right to this land. The site of the
adobe was probably occurred since the early 1800's.

The brick in the current adobe
has been patched through the years and went through a
major renovation in 1999. This family tour goes
back to the time when Don Jose de la Jesus owned the land, and his
daughter Maria Vallejo wrote about living in such a
western outpost.
The tour will also tell
of other families that owned this land (John Rock,
John Lander, and the Roeding's) and activities on this
very special place. Your family will learn about early
Fremont history and it's impact on California History.

See the Math Science Nucleus' newest project working with
City of Fremont, Bruce Roeding, and California Nursery Legacy
Council. Preserving the history of this nationally
recognized area in Fremont. Many just think of this area
as a failing nursery, but the history of this area records the
agricultural history in the Niles area. This is a
rare look into our archiving operation and what we hope to
accomplish. You will be proud of being a member/supporter
of the Math Science Nucleus, as we work to save a legacy.
