In June 2018, I visited Family Threads in San Juan Bautista as part of Shop Hop by the Bay and decided to visit the mission to get some pictures. The quilt store was a treasure, I will definitely be stopping on the way home from Sean's now and again! ( Family Threads Quilt Shop, 107 D The Alameda #1203, San Juan Bautista, CA 95045 - (831_ 623-0200) Be sure to check for hours before visiting.
The mission was founded in June of 1797, with the cornerstone of the current church being laid in 1803. The old mission website has an interesting history of the building.
Across from the mission lies San Juan Bautista State Historic Park, where you find yourself in the middle of the old town square with many of the buildings available to tour.
San Juan Bautista is well worth making a day trip for park, mission and quilt shop!!
