OVERVIEW

San Antonio’s historical and cultural significance extends far beyond our architecture, well-known histories, and our designated landmarks. Our city is rich in stories that celebrate our built environment, diverse communities, and unique traditions.

What are some untold stories that are important to you and your family? Are there stories about your favorite places in San Antonio that you wish everyone knew? Share your story on our Discovery Map and place a There’s a Story Here sticker or sign at the location associated with your story so everyone can learn what makes this place and San Antonio so special!

Submit A Story

  1. Share your story on OHP’s Discovery Map!
  2. Tick the YES box that asks if you want to participate in the There’s a Story Here program.
  3. Make sure you leave your email and/or phone number so OHP staff can arrange a time for you to pick up your sticker or sign. Or, after you’ve submitted your story, email your name, mailing address, and the topic of your submission to ohp@sanantonio.gov. You can also use our contact form to send this information.
