The Marstons: A California Story
History Series

Featured in Our Heritage eNews publication, “The Marstons: A California Story” history series unfolds with regular bi-monthly installments each delving into historical accounts.

At the heart of this series lies the remarkable stories of the George White Marston and Anna Lee Gunn Marston family—a narrative that weaves through time and generations. A captivating journey that traces the footsteps of both the Gunn and Marston clans to the golden landscapes of California, and their trailblazing adventures that ultimately converged in San Diego.

Beyond the family's narrative, the series features their entrepreneurial endeavors and success, their extraordinary philanthropic pursuits, and their indelible and awe-inspiring civic contributions. Especially relevant to SOHO, and why we say we are kindred spirits with the Marstons, is the pivotal role they played in the safeguarding and preservation of local historic sites and cultural places, parks, and open spaces.

Their progressive and sensitive approach played an instrumental role in shaping the development of what has been hailed as "America's Finest City—a distinction owed significantly to the enduring influence of the Marston family.
