Fort Mason was a military base, first administered by the Spanish in 1776. When California became a state in 1850, the U.S. Army claimed it, and, during the Civil War, heavily fortified the place to resist Confederate attacks that never came. The fort was a major hub during World War II, but was eventually decommissioned in the 1970s, when it became part of the nation’s first urban national park.

Since then, the center has evolved into a cultural enclave of dozens of small, mostly nonprofit organizations, museums, and theater companies, including the Magic Theater, where Sam Shepard began his career as the playwright-in-residence in 1975, and the Museo ItaloAmericano, which features a permanent collection of the work of well-known international painters such as Francesco Clemente.
