      The Yorba and Slaugher Families Adobe, built in 1852, is one of the oldest
residences in San Bernandino County.  It belonged to one of the most influential
property owners in Mexican California, Jos� Antonio Yorba.  It was bought in 1868
by Fenton M. Slaughter, a veteran of the Mexican-American War, who also served
in the state legislature and the San Bernandino County board of supervisors.  The
current adobe was built in 1852-53 and replaced the original adobe, which was
built by Raymundo Yorba in 1851 but was burned down that same year.  Activities
include the "Battle of Chino" reenactment of the Mexican-American War.  To reach

programs are also offered.  The museum is on 7000 Merrill Avenue, east of Route 83.
