Mission San Rafael was significantly damaged in 1818 when it was attacked by a group of Mexican rebel forces led by the pirate Hippolyte Bouchard. The rebels set fire to the mission, destroying much of the structure. Although it was later rebuilt, the mission never regained its former prominence and ultimately fell into decline as the focus shifted to other more successful missions.

Are there any special facts or unusual stories about San Rafael mission?

San Rafael Mission, officially known as Mission San Rafael Arcángel, was established in 1817 as a hospital mission to support Mission Dolores in San Francisco. An unusual aspect of its history is that it was initially intended to be a temporary settlement, leading to its designation as a "mission" rather than a full-fledged establishment. The mission also faced challenges, including a fire in 1845 that destroyed much of its structure, but it was rebuilt and is now a vibrant historical site. Additionally, the mission's location in a lush valley contributed to its appeal and success in agriculture and livestock.
