Explore the rich history of the Presidio of San Francisco as it is discovered every day through archaeology. Head to the active dig site to meet Presidio archaeologists, see the remnants of the Spanish Fort and learn about the archaeological process. Archaeologists will talk about their methods and the state-of-the-art lab and collections facility where artifacts are studied to reveal the hidden stories of the indigenous Ohlone, Spanish, Mexican, and American families who have called the Presidio home.

COVID Information for this event

This Bay Area Science Festival event is an outdoor event that is following the county guidelines of San Francisco County. Additional COVID requirements for this event include that masks are not required, but recommended.

Event Hosts

The Presidio Trust is an innovative federal agency that stewards and shares the history, beauty, and wonder of the Presidio for everyone to enjoy forever. We earn the funds to manage the Presidio by operating park businesses, from leasing homes and workplaces to offering visitor amenities. Unlike other national parks, the Trust does not receive a direct annual appropriation. The Trust manages the Presidio in partnership with the National Park Service and with support from the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy.

The Bay Area Science Festival will manage all in-person events with the health, safety and well-being of our staff, volunteers, hosts, exhibitors, and guests in mind. In response to COVID-19, we will be implementing public health requirements for all event hosts and attendees in accordance with local and state guidelines in order to celebrate science safely throughout the Bay Area.
