Offering Visitors Opportunities for Hands-on Learning

Tuesdays
10 a.m. - 12 p.m.

Carts are located in the Central Courtyard on the north side of the fountain

Mission San Juan Capistrano has introduced new "curiosity carts" to introduce visitors to history-related replica artifacts used at the Mission during its early days on Tuesdays, 10 a.m. - 12 p.m.

Each educational cart offers close-up learning for students and visitors interested in seeing items up close. Items include branding irons, spurs, horseshoes, hides, candles, pottery shards and objects used by the Juaneno Indians.

The carts are the creation of Ron Bauer, who helps teach the Mission Matters education program.
