Junípero Serra Museum (Presidio Park) - site interpretation of early contact

The Junípero Serra Museum in Presidio Park interprets the 1769 Spanish presidio and early European settlement in what is now San Diego, located on the hill where Gaspar de Portolá's party camped. The museum's exhibits include material and historical interpretation about the Kumeyaay people who inhabited the area before and during early Spanish contact. The Presidio site is treated as a focal point for discussing 18th-century contact, settlement, and the effects on local Indigenous communities.
