The sign says, "For Many years the Mission has been the focal point of Capistrano Valley. During the 1800's the Mission was active in it's religious and agricultural endeavors; it also maintained large herds of cattle and developed an industry of hide-curing. The tallow vats and curing pits still exist today. In 1835 the Brig Pilgrim sailed into Capistrano bay to trade hides. One of the sailors on that ship was Richard Henry Dana. In his book "Two Years Before the Mast" he depicted the injustices suffered by the sailors, but also gave accounts of the hide trading."
