Field Trip to the Presidio, Fort Point, and the Palace of Fine Arts (November 6, 1969)

About This Item

Children from the Frederic Burk School gather around the Prayer Book Cross—also known as the Drake Cross—at the Presidio as a uniformed service member addresses the group. Standing beneath the wooden cross and surrounded by cypress trees, the students listen attentively during a lesson connecting local history, military presence, and early European contact along the California coast. The photograph captures a moment of guided interpretation, reflecting the Presidio’s role as both a historic military site and an educational landscape.
