We made a quick trip to the reconstructed Mission on our way to the Presidio. I was quite impressed with the massive buildings and the overall condition of the grounds. Nearby campgrounds allow extended stay and there are other attractions in the immediate area, including river access for paddling adventures.

We stopped here to view the Mission Espiritu Santo State Historic Site, a reconstructed mission beside the San Antonio River. This is a lovely place.

great for picnics, photography and excellent learning experience. goliad is a quaint little town with a beautiful old courthouse and square, presideo la Bahia and Mission Espiritu Santo. So much beauty and history in such a small down.

I came to Goliad for Presidio La Bahia. I didn't know anything about the mission. I was impressed. I learned a lot about how life in a mission was. The museum was great, but the Park Rangers explained things so well. I always thought missions were only churches, but I learned how they were a community.
