History Dinner Under the Stars

Join us for our last History Dinner Under the Stars for the season.

April 2

Step into the early days of California's frontier and discover the system that shaped its very foundation.

Presidios, Pueblos, and Missions explores how the Spanish Colonial system relied on three distinct and highly coordinated institutions to colonize the wilderness, establish control, and build lasting communities. From military outposts to civilian settlements and religious centers, these institutions worked together to expand Spain's reach across the borderlands.

California-like other frontier provinces-owes its earliest development to this interconnected system.
