Located in San Rafael, Mission San Rafael Arcángel was established in 1817 as a sanitarium for those affected by the inclement San Francisco weather. In 1822 it became a full fledged mission.
The original 1817 chapel has been replaced with a replica which serves the community in the area along with a newer church built in 1919.
My sister, brother-in-law and I visited on a beautiful November morning. Unfortunately the gift shop wasn't open and there was no museum, so it was just a quick chapel view.
