san juan bautista state historic park印象

There are a few nice historical buildings and a stable containing a good collection of historic carriages and horse drawn wagons. Admission is inexpensive (I believe $3 each). It is a pleasant place it spend an hour or two. It is located adjacent to the San Andreas fault, although visible evidence is not obvious.

Even though my we have made countless trips to the Monterey Peninsula, we missed one of the most wonderful preservations of California history until our trip this summer. About 8 miles south of Gilroy, on the 101, is the route 156 East exit ( make sure you take the East exit, the West goes to Monterey). This takes you to San Juan Bautista (about 3 miles off the freeway). First we went to the Mission, which has the largest church of any of the 21 California missions, and museums displaying all types of artifacts from its founding in 1797 and beyond. It takes about an hour to go through it, but is well worth every minute. (Admission is $4 adults, $3 seniors, $2 kids)After you've visited the mission, go diagonally across the street to the Plaza hotel (built in 1858 on the site of Spanish barracks) which houses the office for the San Jaun Bautista State Hisorical Park. There you can get a ticket for $6 which admits you into the hotel and saloon which is furnished as it was in the 1800's. The admission also allows you to visit the Blacksmith shop and carriage museum, the 2 homes of the Hotel's original owners, and the surrounding gardens. We we extremely impressed and what we thought would be an hour's visit, turned into 4 hours! I can't believe we waited so long to find this place, but am sure glad we did!We had the best breakfast at the Mission Cafe, and there are several other eating places. The town itself is like a scene from a Western movie. Don't miss a stroll through it, too.

This state park shouldn't be missed. It's easy to reach from Highway 101 though the signs are hopeless so head for the library and find the old town.The mission itself is huge, an attractive church with a simple museum set around pleasant gardens. But the museum is the best $3 you're likely to find.Located in a couple of 19c buildings. it tells the story of the development of the area from native American times through missionary, rancher and modern times with video and boards. The hotel has so many of the original artefacts that you can see what a great stop it must have been in the 19c. And to think it was bought by an impoverished teenager who survived the Donner party tragedy to find gold!The house is equally well furnished and when you move to the stables, you're amazed by the number, range and quality of the carriages amassed inside. We picnicked in the park by the jail before wandering down to the old-fashioned shops lining the main street. Give yourself a couple of hours to enjoy it

This is one of California's fine state parks, and it surrounds the historic Mission San Juan Bautista. The entrance fee for the park doesn't cover the Mission, which is separate, but they are both very reasonable ($4 per person each and they also have discounts for seniors) The stable and blacksmith shop are especially interesting, and don't miss going through the Zanetta House (Plaza Hall) -- the entrance is in the rear of the building after you go through the stable. There are period-furnished rooms throughout that are wonderful to see.

I've only been to about 6 of the California missions, but this has to be one of the best. The mission itself has been restored to almost perfection. The church is beautiful inside and there are many great old buildings in the park. Fantastic.

Mission San Juan Bautista is California's 15th mission and was in great shape. In addition to the mission itself there was a stable with large display of old buggy carriages and 1859 hotel which is now a museum. There are several other building with old artifacts and history plaques. A block away is the main street of the town that has maintain its old character with little shops and dinning options. In joyed spending several hours at this site seeing stop and was inexpensive.

Awesome historic place to visit and get a small insight into life at the time. The carraiges are awesome and the jail that seats one built in the 1870's was awesome. The tools of the time, considering that this was deemed that latest technology and state of the art was great to see. Inexpensive to see and well looked after. Easily spend 3 to 4 hours of you include the mission.

We fortunately arrived on the one Saturday a month (1st Saturday) that docents were present and in costume. It was also the one day a year that they were featuring outdoor cooking with Dutch ovens. We were there when they rang the 'dinner bell', (triangle) and were treated to stews and deserts. Yum! http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=563

This was such an stmospheric place which has carefull preserved the buildings and layout of the Spanish plaza. There is also lots of good explanation and recreation of the various elements. Very many thanks to the ranger at the park who suggested to us that we also go to Big Basin to see the redwoods.

The park has 3 or 4 buildings, 2 or of which can be entered and toured. It is adjacent to the Mission. The Hotel is the most interesting of the buildings. There are costumes, period furniture, photos, and information about the history of the area and the culture. there is a small admission fee. Worth spending an hour or so while in the area.
