Heritage Home Tours . . . making history fun since 1975!
The women who founded the Heritage Association didn't set out to save a town, they just wanted to save one significant structure. They knew that preserving the little rock house by the river (today's Charles S. Cock House Museum) was the right thing to do, so they created a home tour to raise money, and save it they did. Then their spirit spread, so that 42 years and hundreds of structures later, that same collective fervor underlies much of what our town still values.
Without it, today's San Marcos wouldn't have nearly its current charm. And with it, the fastest-growing city in America isn't just an exploding mass of chain stores and box apartments. It is a living monument to the beauty handed down to us by our ancestors. With one of the largest intact residential historic districts in the state, a thriving downtown, and a fiercely protected sparkling river, we can be proud that this town has a heart like none other.
