Course Description

21 California Missions

Alicia Romue

Friday February 12

10:00AM - 11:00AM

(Registration closes February 11 at NOON)

Ms. Romeu will take us back in time to learn about the history of the Missions.  She will start with a brief historical background and then discover that even Sir Francis Drake arrived at what is today San Francisco and may have reached Washington state in 1579. Our speaker will explore how the Russians established a town in what is now Alaska in 1799 and how it was that these threats to their discovered lands prompted the Spanish to construct more missions to establish ownership of those lands.  

Must be a current member of OLLI to attend.
