Campo Alaska, La Rumorosa, Baja California, Mexico
View Original Description
General Abelardo L. Rodríguez, governor of the state of Baja California, constructed the stone buildings as a House of Government almost 100 years ago. From 1923 to 1929 the Mexicali government offices would move to the site during the months of June to October to escape the summer heat of the city and to enjoy a cooler mountain climate. The buildings were later used as a mental hospital and a tuberculosis hospital until 1955. Today, the historic site functions as a museum related to the history of the region. The museum isn’t always open, so try calling ahead of your visit.
