Two locations at Mission San Miguel are covered in graffiti.
The vandalism happened back in December but being that it s a historic landmark it s not a quick fix. It s just kind of blatant disrespect to not only the church but to the community as well, said Vanessa Deroma who was visiting the mission on Monday.
Founded in 1797, Mission San Miguel has been an important part of Central Coast history for more than 200 years. It s a very small town. We re proud of our town so we hate to see people deface community property especially historical property like the mission. The mission was the most devastating in my opinion, said Scott Young, San Miguel Firefighters Association President.
The San Miguel Firefighters Association has also put together a driving map for visitors who would like to see all the lights.
