San Vincente Museum


A few years ago I stopped to see the museum in San Vincente and recommend to all to take time and visit. Many great photographs and history. The museum is between the church and police station across from the public park as you drive into town.

El Rosario...


There is also one museum in El Rosario... it is small but has some very interesting stuff.

It is located in "El Rosario de Abajo".... just ask directions to the cementery and it is just besides it.:)

San Vicente has a lot of history. It was the 'capital' more than once of Baja. Lorenzo and I checked out the mission and President William Walker's brief headquarters a few years ago: http://vivabaja.com/baja_2001 We missed the museum, however... thanks for telling us about it!

One of my favorite vistas is heading south on Hwy 1 and catching the San Vicente valley at sunrise as you come over the grade...quite a sight.
