Description
Photograph shows the exterior of Mission San Jose , including the entrance to the mission's museum . The signpost reads "Mission San Jose . Historical Landmark no . 334. " Another sign above the entrance steps reads "Mission San Jose de Guadalupe . Founded June 11 , 1797. " Cars are parked along the street in front of the mission .
Note
La Misión del Gloriosísimo Patriarca Señor San José was the fourteenth mission founded in California. The sign above the steps gives an incorrect name for the mission. "Contrary to what you may have read in most books , we are not the Mission San Jose de Guadalupe. In the early part of the 1900's , a sign was erected on the roof of the Museum which said 'Mission San Jose de Guadalupe. ' Many books have since been published and, unfortunately , the authors use this reference in their stories. When this Mission was founded it was named 'La Mision del Gloriosisimo Patriarch San Jose ' in honor of St. Joseph. All of our record books refer to the Mission as Mission San Jose. Though the pueblo (city) of San Jose was founded 13 miles south near the Guadalupe River , the only connection between the pueblo and the Old Mission is that both were named in honor of St. Joseph.
