William B. Ide Adobe State Historic Park, located two miles northeast of Red Bluff on Adobe Road, is named after the first and only president of the short-lived California Bear Republic – which lasted for 22 days. The park features the old 1846 adobe home, carriage shed, blacksmith shop and a visitor center. Historical photographs and Native American artifacts are on display at the Kelly-Griggs House Museum, a restored Victorian mansion in the park.   The adobe memorial to Ide is located in a picnic area overlooking the Sacramento River. Park volunteers and staff present living history programs throughout the year. For more information visit http://www.shastacascade.com/showrecord.asp?id=996.
