California Missions
I chose California missions because they are so close to home. I have lived in sonoma all of my life and there is a mission right down town. I actually went there for a field trip as a young child but I do not remember anything about it! I thought it would be interesting to study something that is so close.
There are 21 Califonia missions which include:

Mission San Francisco de Solano (1823)
The 21st mission was located right here in Sonoma. It was founded on July 4, 1823 by a young padre without the knowledge of his superiors. He was encouraged by the governor, who wanted a buffer between the prosperous Bay Area settlements and the Russians, who had advanced down the California coast as far as Fort Ross. He intended to move everything from Dolores to the new mission but after a debate they decided to keep both missions on their own seperate courses.
The russian fur trader turned out to be very friendly and even shared their supplies and donated the Russian style liberty bells.
The mission ended up serving many years as a church and then it was abandoned. Today the mission and a part of the town square at Sonoma have been restored as a California State Historic Park.
