How old is the Santa Clara Mission?
452358
In 1769, the Portola Expedition visited the Santa Clara Valley. They found a grassy plain covered with oaks and with lots of marshy creeks and rivers. Because of the good land and water, they thought it would be a good place for a mission. At that time the area was called Llano de los Robles, or Plain of the Oaks. In 1774, an expedition set out to find sites for future missions. After a couple of visits, a location on the Guadalupe river was selected. Viceroy Bucareli wanted to establish two locations at the northern frontier, one at the mouth of the harbor and one at the southern end of the bay. Mission San Francisco de Asis was established in 1776 near the entrance to the San Francisco Bay. \nSan Francisco's companion mission was to be named for his childhood friend, Saint Clara. In late 1776, a group of soldiers and priests arrived at the site on the Guadalupe River. \n\nFather Thomas de la Pena founded Mission Santa Clara de Asis, the eighth in California, on January 12, 1777.

A "14 year old boy" didn't "set up" the Mormon church. Joseph Smith accounts to having seen a vision when he was 14 years old. Through subsequent heavenly visitations, visions, and revelations, he continued step by step in restoring Christ's church to the earth once again. It was a process that continued throughout his entire life. It didn't begin when he was 14 years old and it certainly didn't end when he was martyred at 39.

An age-old time-tested institution.

1854 does sound about right; see source below.  Basically it hasn't had anything substantial for a while; the last eruption before 1854 seems to be over 2,000 years ago.

There's supposably one in a church near Lawrence, Ks in a town called Stull, I think.  Missed my chance to check it out and I think it's been torn down, but I know people who claim they've seen things there, although they were too scared to get close or go inside the place.

Yeah. I drive by it every once in a while. It's maybe 10 miles north of downtown San Jose, in Fremont. There's a whole neighborhood around the mission. Really affluent part of the South Bay.
