For the first time in more than 10 years, The Lincoln Document, an original patent of title signed by Abraham Lincoln in 1865 returning Mission San Juan Capistrano to the Catholic Church, is on display for the public to see. The historic document, normally tucked away for safe keeping, is viewable Presidents Day weekend only.

The famous president's signed document is on display in the “Mission Treasures” exhibit for a limited time, opening in the afternoon of Thursday, February 13, 2020 and closing at the end of the day Monday, February 17, 2020, in honor of Presidents Day and Lincoln's birthday.

As always, other activities for kids are available during opening hours, including panning for gold panning, adobe brick making, and koi feeding. Extra projects cost from $1-$10.
