Mission San Juan Capistrano was founded in 1977 and is known as the "Jewel of the Missions" for both its historic beauty and sacred tranquility. Originally docent guided tours directed the visitor experience, but after 230 years the Mission needed to create modern exhibits and a unified interpretive approach. Maple & Associates worked with the Mission's Director, staff, docents and Board of Directors to produce a master plan vision for the Mission's future.
