Heritage

The Commemorative Air Force is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving a complete collection of combat aircrafts flown by Allies during World War II.

The Centex Wing, located in a 1943 vintage wooden hangar, offers visitors a WW II Artifacts Exhibit and a display dedicated to the Doolittle Raiders.

The Hays County Historic Commission has devoted much effort to chronicling the history of this area through the stories in the cemetery. Cemetery buffs will appreciate the rolling hills of the San Marcos Blanco Cemetery and the colorful flowers in the century old San Pedro Cemetery, among more than a dozen public access cemeteries in the San Marcos area. 

The Hays County Veterans Memorial offers a chance to remember  and to honor our local heroes.

Our Veterans Memorial is located on Hopkins Street, one of the main streets leading into the Heart of San Marcos.  

Take a moment to stop at the Veteran's Memorial and pay your respects. 

The LBJ Museum of San Marcos preserves the legacy of Lyndon B. Johnson by focusing on his years spent as a student at what is now Texas State University (then Southwest Texas State Teachers College), his teaching experiences in South Texas, and the impact of these experiences on his role in the development of landmark legislation in the areas of education and civil rights.

The historic Merriman Cabin was built  in 1846 by Dr. Eli T. Merriman (1815-1867), a Yale graduate and 1838 Texas settler. Merriman was one of three San Marcos town site owners and first physician in the area.
