San Marcos Main Street is tasked with maintaining the unique, historic nature of downtown, recognizing its history and planning for its future. Downtown San Marcos was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

There are numerous buildings in and around San Marcos that have a rich and unique history that many people have not discovered, particularly around the downtown historic courthouse, or as the locals call it, the square.

Volunteers are the backbone nonprofits organizations and their survival would be extremely difficult without them. If would like additional information on to become a volunteer, click HERE.

The Heritage Association of San Marcos is a nonprofit 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 the traditional Friday luncheons at the Cottage Kitchen.
