Starting on April 15, 2015, La Senora Research Institute will be auctioning off a number of fun and unique items to bid on to raise money for our organization - and the more items we have the more money we can raise, so we're asking for your help.

La Senora's focus is on research and education.  It begins with our scholars as we document the Rancho Era of Early California under Spain, Mexico and the United States, especially as it relates to the 1839 Mexican Land Grant of Rancho Boca de Santa Monica where our Jose Mojica Hacienda and Pasqual Marques family cemetery are located. Equally important to our preservation of historic records is the preservation of the Rancho's rich cultural heritage with its typically Mexican "Welcoming Traditions".  From the beginning, the Rancho's canyon grounds were freely visited by anyone seeking tranquility under its sheltering trees and ocean breezes.

La Senora is located in the serene Santa Monica Canyon where lies the creek from which the City of Santa Monica took its name.  Legend tells that a Spanish soldier with the first exploration party drank from the creek and explained "The water is as sweet as the tears of St. Monica".
