Description
The wonderful Presidio Chapel San Elizario near El Paso in the town of San Elizario, Texas, USA. It was originally built in 1789 as a Spanish Fort including a military chapel. After Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821 the Presidio was abandoned. Today the Presidio is gaining fame as the site of the First Thanksgiving in North America...The expedition of Spanish Explorer Don Juan de Onate held a Thanksgiving at this site 23 years before the Pilgrims at Plymoth Colony (now Plymouth) and almost 200 years before the Presidio was constructed...
