Monterey County Historical Landmark NO. 233 MISSION NUESTRA SEŅORA DE LA SOLEDAD - This mission, founded October 9,1791 by Father Fermin Francisco de Lasuen, ministered to the Indians of the Salinas Valley. Governor Jose Joaquin de Arrillaga died here July 24, 1814 and was buried in the chapel.

It was regranted to the Bishop of Monterey in 1859. In ruins after 1874, the chapel was reconstructed and dedicated under the auspices of the Native Daughters of the Golden West, October 1955.
