Mission San Miguel Remembers History
In the mid 1600s, the Spanish (based out of
St. Augustine) founded the province of Apalachee. Franciscan
missionaries and Spanish families brought the Faith to the
Apalachee Indians of this region. Many Native Americans embraced
Christianity and lived in peace with the Spanish. The Spanish
missions thrived until the English and their Creek allies
destroyed them in 1704.
Patrick Mangan and Ryan Sweeney produced a documentary on the Spanish Missions in Apalachee. The documentary, titled Save Our History, won 2nd place in The History Channel's national contest, Save Our History. Enjoy this 10 minute documentary now, click here.
