Oral History Collection

Through the years, the Heritage Association has compiled numerous audio interviews and several video interviews with local men and women to help preserve the history and culture of our community. Many of these resources are available at the San Marcos Public Library. Some of the recent video resources are also available for purchase, including "Memories of the Square," featuring 13 long-time San Marcos residents who have had a connection to the businesses and buildings along our historic square.
