(opening in 2016)

Visitors will learn about the Presidio from its early years near the Kumeyaay village of Kosa’aay and the San Diego River to the establishment of the Royal Presidio and the Mission San Diego de Alcalá (1769). The Presidio is the birthplace of San Diego and California. The exhibit traces the American period and efforts to preserve the Presidio by George Marston, who created the San Diego Historical Society in 1928.
