Founded in 1823 as the last of the Spanish California missions, in part by Mariano Vallejo to check the Russian's impact in Northern California. Site of the first vineyard in Sonoma County. This is where the Bear Flag Revolt took place in 1846. It was bought by the California Historic Landmarks Leag
ue in 1903 and restored in 1913. Though it was the last mission, it was the third structure in California to be designated a State Historic Landmark.
