Father Fermin Lasuen, Presidente of the California Missions Chain, founded Mission San Miguel Arcangel on July 25, 1797. Named for Saint Michael the Arcangel, it was the 16th mission founded in the 21 Spanish Missions in Alta California. Mission San Miguel's appearance is much the same as it was when founded. The inside of the mission has never been repainted. The pictures and the colors you see are the originals that were created and painted by Indian artisans under the direction of Esteban Munras. Today it is still a parish church. A fiesta is held on the third Sunday in September. Admission to the mission is free and donations are gratefully accepted.
