The third major feature of the Santa Margarita Ranch House National Historic Site is the Ranch House Chapel.
The Chapel is the oldest structure on the Base, having started out as a winery in 1810 when the land belonged to Mission San Luis Rey. Severely damaged by heavy rains and flooding in 1993, the Chapel was carefully restored in 1994; private donations played a significant role in the restoration project.
Today, this lovely chapel hosts religious worship services and weddings.
