About Mission Dolores State Historic Site
Archeological excavations confirm the location of a Franciscan mission first established in 1721, though no above-ground remains of the structure survive today. The 36-acre property, which includes a 9-acre archaeological site listed on the National Register of Historic Places, sits along the original El Camino Real de los Tejas trail. A museum, hiking trails, and a campground occupy the grounds, which the Texas Historical Commission operates in the Piney Woods region of East Texas.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
