  • Summary

  • In Part 2 of my interview with Helena Hazleton, Museum Director at Mission San Luis Rey de Francia, we discuss its later history and some features that make it stand out among missions.

    Main topics of Part 2:

    • The mission's unique architecture, including its distinctive dome and lavandería
    • Rare Spanish colonial artworks, some with surprising origins
    • Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, son of Sacagawea, and his role at the mission
    • How Mexican and Irish Franciscans worked to restore the mission
    • Connections to Aztec and Maya art and the mission's adaptation to frontier life
    • The historic mission cemetery

    After listening to this episode, I'm sure you will want to visit the King of the Missions.
