            Mission Espiritu Santo and Goliad State Park, Texas.  The original Mission Espiritu Santo was founded by Spanish missionaries in 1722 at Lavaca Bay, but the mission was moved inland to its present-day location near Goliad by 1749.  For decades the mission prospered, but following secularization it went into decline and was abandoned by 1830.  The site was destroyed in a hurricane in 1886, but partially reconstructed by the CCC in the 1930's.  Today, the mission is the centerpiece of Goliad State Park, which also encompasses the nearby Presidio La Bahia and Fannin Battleground Memorial.  

I visited the mission on a rainy March 6th, 2008, and toured the reconstructed cathedral and mission grounds.  Plus, there is a short nature hike behind the mission next to the San Antonio (the Aranama Trail).  I also later visited the Presidio La Bahia, Fannin Battleground, and downtown Goliad - but those photos are in a separate photoset.  The Mission Espiritu Santo is very similar to the four missions that make up the Mission Walk in south San Antonio - but with less crowds.
