A Short History of the Presidio

The Walt Disney Family Museum is located in the heart of The Presidio of San Francisco, now a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The three buildings that house the Museum are on the National Register of Historic Places, and we are proud to be part of such a significant historical site.

But the human story of this magnificent location dates back thousands of years (archaeologists have located a shell mound in the Crissy Field area that dates back ot A.D. 740), and in observation of Memorial Day, we'd like to share a short history of our fascinating home.

Thankk you for creating this wonderful, informative, brief history of the Presidio. I had no knowledge of its history until now. Greatly enjoyed it.
