About the Heritage Association of San Marcos

The Heritage Association of San Marcos is a non-profit organization chartered in 1975 to support the preservation of buildings, historical sites and archives as well as to perpetuate traditions that beautify and enrich the community life of this city. The Association grew out of the San Marcos Bicentennial Commission, which was formed in 1972 to plan and coordinate the city's celebration of the nation's Bicentennial in 1976. Since its founding, the Heritage Association has been responsible for many beloved community traditions, including luncheons on Fridays at the Cottage Kitchen, Heritage Home Tours on the first weekend in May, the presentation of Landmark Awards to recognize private preservation projects in the city, memorial events in the River Walk Memorial Grove, and an annual membership dinner and meeting.
