Mesa Room – Within These Walls
Start your visit in the Presidio’s oldest standing architecture. See layers of history literally revealed, from the exposed colonial adobe walls of the 1810s to the Post Headquarters of the 1880s and the Officers’ Club of the 1930s and 1970s. Together, the layered walls of the Mesa Room represent the Presidio’s transformation through time and show the process of historical discovery and preservation still unfolding today.
Passage Way – Beyond the Gates
Traveling from the historic adobe Mesa Room to the main exhibitions in the Heritage Gallery, explore the impact the Presidio had on the history of the American West and on events around the world, and learn about the generations of soldiers who passed through the post. The images and objects illustrate these global connections and tell the story of the Presidio beyond its gates.
Presidio Heritage Gallery – Telling the Presidio Story
Experience stories of the Presidio from 10,000 years ago to the present day. Historic artifacts and images, films, hands-on interactives, and multi-media displays bring this history to life. From a chronological timeline of the Presidio’s human history to a mega-sized display with compelling artifacts, the Presidio Heritage Gallery invites curiosity and discovery.
