Many people know about the second La Purísima Mission (1813) in Lompoc, California, but the first (1787) is almost forgotten. Here's an archaeological tour of the original mission. Many thanks to my nieces Abbey and Sierra and nephew Bert for their help!

Very interesting!
That's how parents should teach their kids about history
What an energetic video. Wish I’d seen it yesterday when I stayed in Lompoc and went to the State Historical Park. Been coming to La Purisima since I was your kids age in the early 60s and never knew there was anything left of the original mission. Great job.
I grew up in the 1950's on the block below the original mission. I LOVED those walls and they hold a very special place in my heart.
You lived right on top of history! I'm glad there's still some walls remaining today
Enjoyed the video. Good energy. Correction, the first Mission Purísima Concepción was built in 1780 in Yuma Arizona. It was part of the short-lived inland mission chain that included Mission San Pedro y San Pablo de Bicuñer, which was built in 1781. Mission Purísima Concepción was built to reinforce the De Anza Trail. The De Anza Trail started in 1775 when De Anza brought 30 families from Sinaloa, Mexico to establish the Pueblo Buena Yerba, which is now San Francisco. Bring supplies up the coat was very difficult so The Viceroyalty of New Spain was seeking an overland route. In 1781 there was a native uprising that destroyed the inland missions. The De Anza Trail was not used again for forty years.
Thank you for presenting this obscure piece of California history!!! Finally someone has done something. I have been to this spot back in 1999. The epicenter of the December 1812 earthquake was a minor fault line at mouth of Lobo Canyon just below the intertidal zone on Santa Rosa Islands north-central coast. Halfway up Lobo Canyon there is a fissure that is 1000 feet long by 100 feet wide still visible today ( I saw this back in 1997 while on a camping trip.) When the street was cut through it bisected the nave of the church and skeletons of the mission neophytes were uncovered in situ (the quake happened during church mass) I believe this neighborhood was built up in the 1960s. After the quake the Padres never had the victims bodies exhumed for burial and left them under the collapsed roof rubble. Also when the reservoir dam broke there was a massive flood that came right down the gully in back of mission that also caused some fatalities. If you go on Google satellite maps you can see the earthquake fissure above the mission dam site and also the 1000 foot fissure on Santa Rosa Island as well.
Great job! I like the use of archaeology in looking at the site, and how the kids were involved
Love your enthusiasm, Adam!
hey Uncle! I can't wait to be your camera woman again! awesome facts!
Yo you killed it on the camera work, Abbey!
I grew up in lompoc very close to the old mission
So this is it huh? We tried to find this and ended up taking a road that lead down someone's driveway, someone gave us bad directions lol! I'm going to subscribe to your channel and be that magic 200th! You have interesting videos and we both seemed to have covered Lompoc around the same time!
Yep, it's definitely tucked away. Thanks for subscribing, did the same for you and learned some factoids about the town from your work!
Love it!
Just becareful. Some of the Docents are a little racist. Ask me how I know? I am 7th generation Asian American and a former US Marine Raider. To have a couple of docent carpenters eyeball me with the look you only get from UNFRIENDLIES when you are ON Mission Only in a Zone of Combat? Priceless! 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
