That’s actually a rather amazing story of Mr. Light and his freedom papers. Assuming he was freed sometime in the 1840s, his freedom papers must have remained untouched under that old window sill until about 130 years later, when they were found by construction workers.

Don’t spend a dime here. The carne asada was dry, tough, and scant. The margarita did not do justice for its price. Tourist trap. Will never see me there unless I’ve died and gone to Mexican hell. Don’t confuse with Casa De Pico (which is very good).

Wow, I am saddened to read this restaurant is closing. I enjoy Old Towne and this was one of the reasons why. Kat

The Sherman-Gilbert house is fabulous! I'm sorry I didn't know about it when I visited!

I agree, Old Town is a very pleasant spot to hang out for an afternoon.
