Our Mission Statement

FHSAM was founded in 1991 with the specific purpose of fostering  the preservation, maintenance, and interpretation of Historic Mission San Antonio near Jolon, California and adjacent historic cultural sites and their environment, including the other Salinan Mission, San Miguel.

About FHSAM

The advisory board meets quarterly. The board is made up of twelve dedicated members who have diverse, yet relevant backgrounds and experience, including Salinan Tribal history and culture, landscape architecture, environmental science, archaeology, history, and conservation.

Annual Report

FHSAM publishes an annual report during the Spring of each year for the previous year. The annual report summarizes our activities for each calendar year. The most recent annual reports along with our newsletters and brochure may be seen here

HISTORY

This area surrounding this misison, not to mention the mission itself, has a long and very rich history. Abundant with a variety of natural resources, these mountains have been home to people for thousands of years.

From the native Salinan peoples, through the Spanish missions, Mexican Ranchos, and ultimately the American settlers and ranchers, this region has played an important role in the development of what is now California.  For more of the San Antonio story, please click here.
