//The Old Mission Trading Post was originally built in 1947. The facade was changed in 1953 to the Western false front appearance it retains today. The trading post was purchased in 1987 by Bill Ortega who still operates it today. Mr. Ortega comes from a long family tradition of operating trading posts dating back to the mid-1800’s. The Trading Post today offers San Juan Capistrano souvenirs, Native American Indian jewelry and turquoise, religious goods, artwork, crafts from local San Juan Capistrano artists and California Mission collectibles. Ortega's Capistrano Trading Post is located across the street from the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano.

4/14/2023 - Short on copper as always. “Capistrano” is cut off on all designs to “Capist”. I’ve tried this machine every year since 2016 and it has never pressed a full design on copper. Costs $1.01 each.
