Each year, we receive literally thousands of requests from 4th grade students for information to complete their Mission Project.

For these students, the Gift Shop has two packets available:

  • a free packet of historical information (free, but you must provide a self-addressed, stamped #10 legal size envelope)
  • a comprehensive packet of historical information ($13)

In both cases, students must submit their requests in writing to:

Old Mission San Jose
P.O. Box 3159
Fremont CA, 94539
Attention: Gift Shop

Please allow one week for receipt of your requested materials.

Your request must include the following information:

  • Specify free historical packet or comprehensive historical packet
  • Your name
  • Mailing address

Unfortunately, we are unable to take requests over the phone or by e-mail. If you call, we will refer you to this information and ask you to submit your request in writing.
