In early April, the Custom House Store, located inside the Monterey's historic Custom House, celebrated our grand opening. Board members Harish Joshi, Bende Kelly, Jill Lynch, Susan Miller, and Gayle Paul acted as hosts, greeting visitors and giving out small gifts. Musical entertainment was provided by Kevin Hanstick, Terrence Farrell, and Pat Skinner; we thank them for donating their time and talent.

Our new home is bright and well designed, thanks to State Parks architect Mike Zuccaro and the park maintenance staff. The lovely maple cabinets were built by River City Millwork in Sacramento. Funding for them came from a donation to State Parks from the Big Sur Half-Marathon and a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Merchandise in the Custom House Store includes both past favorites and new additions. You’ll still find a fine selection of old-fashioned toys; marbles are a customer favorite. We have blank cards by local artists, featuring pressed flowers, wildflowers, and art from the park collection. We carry Bonny Doon soaps, salves, and essential oils. Papel picado garlands and Chinese tea bricks like those on display in the museum portion of the Custom House are available for purchase. Postcards and magnets with images of historic buildings are popular tourist items. There’s not room to list everything, so you will need to visit and see for yourself.

Our continued success is dependent on the generosity of our volunteer storekeepers, and we always need more. We welcome new storekeepers! If you would like to join us, please contact State Park Interpreter Michael Green by phone at 831-649-7172.
