Junípero Serra Museum (Presidio Park)

The Junípero Serra Museum sits atop Presidio Hill, the site of the 1769 Spanish Presidio where the first European settlement in what is now California was established. The museum interprets early San Diego history and displays artifacts related to the Presidio, the Mission, and the city's Mexican and early American periods. The site and its grounds are part of Presidio Park and are managed for historical preservation and public education.
