We visited this mission to see some more LDS history. While the Mormon Battalion was stationed in Southern California during the Mexican War, they helped build many structures throughout the area. One construction project was barracks at this mission. The foundations and some of the walls can still be seen below.
The church at the mission is a beautiful building.
The Battalion later camped along Aliso Creek, which happens to run behind the apartments Brian lived in while he was on his mission and there’s a marker there behind the apartments. So we visited it and got our picture taken by Scott.
