Historic and Interpretive Sites Expedition Camp #75: The site of the camp named La Rinconada is preserved in Rincon County Beach Park. Due to park size and use, the expedition may be better interpreted at Carpinteria State Beach. El Presidio de Santa Bárbara State Historic Park: Encompassing the original site of the 1782 Presidio, the park interprets life in California under Spanish rule. Many of the original garrison were members of the Anza 1775–76 expedition. Plans are to reconstruct on the basis of historical and archeological research approximately half of the Presidio on the original foundation stones. Expedition Camp #76: Goleta Beach County Park (as well as the UC Santa Barbara campus and the Santa Barbara Airport) is the site of one of the Chumash villages of Mescalitán. "Here there are three large villages on the banks of the estuary, the largest one being on the road which we are traveling." (Font) Expedition Camp #79: This camp at the mouth of the Rió de Santa Rosa, the Santa Ynez River today, is within Ocean Beach County Park. La Purísima Mission State Historic Park: The mission was first dedicated in 1787, but the current reconstruction represents the 1820 mission. Although not on the historic Anza route and not constructed until after the expedition, this park is on the proposed auto route and interprets Spanish colonial history in California in an historic setting. Other California State Beaches: Along the original Anza route, El Capitan, Refugio, Gaviota, and Point Sal State Beach Parks provide opportunities to interpret the natural environment and the native cultures at the time of the Anza expedition. Other Santa Barbara County Parks: Arroyo Burro, Goleta, Ocean County Beach Parks are on the historic route and provide opportunities for interpretation.
