On the grounds of the state park is the El Camino Real Visitors Center. It showcases part of the El Camino Real, the Kings Highway between San Antonio and Nacogdoches. The most interesting part of this building - it was used as a practice building by the CCC for learning techniques to be used in restoration of Mission Espiritu Santo. We found architecture details, arches, plastering techniques, and architectural drawings. The details in this building are amazing. Very colorful and decorative! Build in cabinets and hand made hinges and clasps. Amazing!! S got a hold of the camera and decided we needed a picture of everyone. We were visiting the courtyard and admiring the gardens and the beautifully carved gates. Drainage here and at all the missions is fantastic. The metal work and the ingenuity of the workers is amazing! This staircase is amazing! It leads to no where, just another practice piece.
