Items are requested directly from the on-line catalog and are retrieved in less than 10 minutes.
• Solano Mission. The last (21st) and northernmost California mission, Mission San Francisco Solano was the only one founded after Mexico’s independence from Spain. It was also the only mission established without the prior approval of the Catholic Church. Founded July 4, 1823 by Father Jose Altimira and named after St. Francis Solano, missionary to the Peruvian Indians, it is located in the town of Sonoma, which is 20 miles north of San Francisco on Highway 12.
