Santa Cruz Mission State Historic Park- Building Methods 1824-2024

2024 marks the 200th anniversary of the last remaining building of the Santa Cruz Mission, a structure built by the hands of Ohlone and Yokuts people under Spanish control. Join us to learn about building methods of the indigenous people here before European arrivals, and how this and other adobe buildings were constructed under Spanish control. Visitors will get a chance to participate in a hands-on activity in demonstration of each building style, and learn about how life changed for Native people at the mission. 
All living history demonstrations are FREE, no reservation required. Call (831) 425-5849 or email santacruzmission@ports-ca.us with questions.
