Tour: Missions and Presidios of Southern California – July 25-31, 2022

The story of Tucson’s founding and the development of the Spanish settlements of California are entwined. To better understand this relationship, we’ll explore this connection and others on this heritage itinerary by getting to know the missions and presidios of southern California up close and in person. Following El Camino Real and the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail, the distinct missions of the Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and San Diego areas are the focus of the trip as well as two of the four California presidios. The geographically broad panorama of history offered by this tour will allow us to consider the perspectives of the indigenous peoples, the religious, the military, and this heritage’s contemporary interpretation.
