New Date: Marston House Exhibit Opens October 25
July/August 2018
 "The Marston Legacy: Progress and Preservation," the new permanent exhibit SOHO is organizing for the Marston House Museum, will open Thursday, October 25, not in August, as originally announced. That will surely be a great time to raise a glass to the visionary patriarch and civic leader George Marston and his influential family in their own Arts & Crafts house museum. George's birthday is October 22 and, in his early 20s he wrote a simple sentence in his journal that would change his history and ours: "Arrived in San Diego in the forenoon of Monday, Oct. 24th, 1870."
SOHO's exhibit will emphasize why Marston is known as one of San Diego's earliest, most prominent historic preservationists and environmentalists, as well as a lifelong supporter of the arts, architecture, and landscape design. George and his family's many friends include prominent artists, architects, and musicians. Their commitment to well-educated, cultured living underscored by a strong public consciousness continues to this day, thanks to generous, civic-minded descendants.
