This page carries the initial and broadest sketch of a
planned Saddleback College exhibit about the history and
cultural traditions of the Mission Viejo, Irvine and San
Juan Capistrano areas. This geographical boundary may be
enlarged or reduced depending on materials available. The
page will be updated to reflect the development of the
project.
The project will focus on the peoples who have populated
this community since prehistoric times until the present.
The thrust of such an exhibit would identify and
document the history of this small but dynamic community
of diverse peoples. Represented in the exhibition will be:
- The "Mission Indians" (Acjachemen)
- Missionaries
- Ranch owners
- Non-Indian settlers
Resources for objects, documents, records, and photographs
