Visit Mission San Jose

Opened in 1797, San Jose Mission was originally intended to spread Christianity to natives of the area. According to the mission’s website, “A fully developed mission was a self-sustaining village. It was occupied by local natives, a few soldiers, several artisans with families, and one or two priests. According to Spanish law, the mission’s lands and resources belonged to the natives and would be put in their control when they had learned to manage themselves in the Spanish way.” Unfortunately, many of the missions original buildings were destroyed in an earthquake in 1868, and over the course of the following century, several reconstruction projects began. These days, the mission is a historical site that is frequented by visitors wanting to learn more about the area’s history. The mission church also remains in use by the local Saint Joseph’s Church.
