Mission San José Park

The recorded population in 1800 was 277 of the Ohlone and Miwok tribes. The highest recorded mission population was 1,886 in 1831.

Mission San Jose was founded by Father-President Fermin Lasuen, then in charge of establishing new missions after the death of Father-President Junipero Serra. San Jose was the 5th mission founded by Father Lasuen. I don't understand your question about being "switched" Although also a Franciscan priest like Serra and Lasuen, Crespi traveled as a chaplain in Spanish expeditions throughout Alta California. He kept notes and diaries on his travels, suggesting locations for new missions. His suggestion for the site of Mission San Jose was rejected as unsafe due to unfriendly native villages. Crespi founded no missions in Alta California but is credited as being the only Franciscan to visit all of Alta California while documenting Spanish expeditions.

The old mission church remains in use as a chapel of Saint Joseph Catholic Church, a parish of the Diocese of Oakland. The museum also features a visitor center, museum, and slide show telling the history of the mission.

It was rebuilt in 1900's So I assume what ever they used in early 20th century. Trying to maintain the original feel to the mission. I am assuming

When I went last year it wasnt open until 10 or maybe 11. I remember waiting for them to open

Please see Califorismissionsfoundation.org for information on the impact of the missions.

I'd say no..

This is something you can probably find by researching the missions themselves. However, native plants and animals are a safe bet!

San Francisco is the closest major city. The mission is located in Fremont which is close to Milpitas and Union City as well as San Jose CA

Likely a combination of Mexican and Spanish dishes.

San Jose was founded by father fermin de lasue I think search it up

Yes is in Fremont

 The Story of Mission San Jose Mission San Jose was founded on June 11, 1797 by Father Fermin Francisco de Lasuen on a site which was part of a natural highway by way of the Livermore Valley to the San Joaquin Valley. It is the fourteenth of the 21 Spanish Missions in Alta California. They were founded to secure Spain's claim to this land and to teach the native people Christianity and the Spanish way of life. A fully developed mission was a self-sustaining village. It was occupied by local natives, a few soldiers, several artisans with families, and one or two priests. According to Spanish law, the mission's lands and resources belonged to the natives and would be put in their control when they had learned to manage themselves in the Spanish way. The site chosen for the only mission on the east side of San Francisco Bay had been inhabited for countless generations by the Ohlone Indians. Their village at this site was known as Orisom. The Ohlones lived close to the land in harmony wi

What kind of buildings did they have in mission san Jose

The Native Americans that converted to the Catholic faith and then became neophytes at each mission did all jobs involving labor. This is why missions became profitable, a requirement by Spain to finance its 21 missions built along the Camino Real. Neophytes (converts) did every job that the priests and the soldiers did not. They became builders and gardeners. They turned clay into bricks and roof tiles. They raised cattle, horses, mules, sheep and goats (all unfamiliar to southern CA). They raised crops like wheat and barley (also unfamiliar), and turned grapes into wine. They learned to card wool and make blankets and clothing. They learned to turn leather into shoes and other leather products. Every job that would make any town function was a role (job) that was taught to the native neophytes. And without these neophytes, no mission in CA would have succeeded or been possible.

The San Jose mission was the home of the Ohlone Tribe

they also used these bells to be rung for when "indians" escaped and were captured and executions. these bells are marks of genocide and a reminder of it.

I guess it depends on how you define the word "best." If you live near Fremont, it might be. Unfortunately, Mission San Jose is not original. The church is a 1985 replica, meaning that none of the chapel originates from its founding. The current Mission San Jose was built on top of where the 1797 Mission stood. An earthquake in 1868 destroyed all but the padre's quarters (now the museum). Other missions along the Camino Real are partially or almost completely original, being 200+ years old. I guess it depends on what you're looking for.

Yes and no. Adult men worked in the fields raising crops, at nearby ranch lands raising livestock, in leather workshops tanning hides, making adobe bricks or roof tiles, etc --- all tasks requiring hard manual labor. Adult women did jobs closer to the mission's quadrangle. They made soap or candles, made yarn from wool or wove it into cloth and clothing. Women also worked in the nearby gardens and probably did most of the cooking or the baking of breads. Children would have helped with jobs done mostly by women, like helping in the gardens. But children were given English classes in addition to religion classes. Spain saw education of children as an important part of becoming a civilized society. Unfortunately, the death rate among children was very high. Few children survived their early years as missions were being established. Many died of European diseases. Many girls died of living in unsanitary conditions as they were forced into crowded protective nighttime dormitories.

Four bells hang in Mission San Jose's bell tower, 3 of which are original. The 4th bell had been given to a church in Oakland and was re-cast. But when the reconstruction of this Mission finished in 1985, the Oakland church returned the 4th bell.

This mission is located in the city of Fremont, which js considered to be in the southestern section of the San Francisco Bay Area and therefore considered to be part of Northern California as opposed to the Central Valley or Southern California regions.

When the Catholic Fathers Serra and Lasuen were selecting their mission location sites along the Camino Real (King's Road), they had 3 specific criteria. They had to be located near a reliable water source in order to reasonably exist. They needed to be in an area with fertile land, in order to grow crops and raise livestock to be profitable. But because the Father's ultimate goal was to save souls by baptizing native people, missions were built near native villages. Mission San Jose was the exception to this important requirement. It was purposefully built next to the first Spanish settlement in Alta California. It was built near Pueblo de San Jose.

San Josė became the largest and most prosperous of the northern Californian missions. There were no outstanding features or successes that would differentiate it from the other missions of the time. At one time there were more than 100 buildings in the mission complex. During the California Gold Rush the mission was a busy trading post.

Historically or currently?

Mission San Jose was named after Saint Joseph, the Foster-Father of Jesus Christ, the husband of the Virgin Mary. The name of the Mission when it was founded was: "La Mision del Gloriosisimo Patriarca Senor San Jose" Translated in English: 'The Mission of the Glorious Patriarch Saint Joseph'

M.Q. Smith is absolutely correct.

I have seen people bring their dogs without leashes too. So if you think your dog is well trained/behaved it would be your own judgement. Many dog owners bring their dogs to the MSHS baseball field for the dogs to play together. It is an unofficial dog park.
