Cultural and Living History Events

The Presidio Museum’s Living History Days bring the Presidio alive, allowing visitors to get a feel for what life in the Presidio would have been like during the late 18th-century New Spain Period and the 19th-century Territorial Period. A variety of demonstrations, including blacksmithing, food preparation and tasting, soldier drills and cannon firing, and Presidio-era children’s games, can be enjoyed at each event. Each Living History Day also features a theme with unique activities, making each event worth attending, whether or not you have previously attended.
