Mission Santa Clara de Asis is the eighth mission of the original 21 California missions. It was established by Father Junipero Serra in 1777. The only mission named after a woman, Clare of Assisi, the historic California mission is now located in Santa Clara University at:
500 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, CA 95050
Total travel distance from Modesto CA to the mission is about 82 miles and takes about 1.5 hours.
More pictures from the day trip is on the Modesto real estate agent's California day trips webpage. The visit to the mission and the pictures were taken in April 2008 as part of my child's fourth grade California Missions project for the Social Studies course.
