Inside the Marston House: Restoring a San Diego Legacy - 2026
Year-Long Series

Follow SOHO's behind-the-scenes journey as we reimagine the Marston House Museum to more authentically reflect the lives of George and Anna Marston and their family. Guided by historic photographs, family memoirs, archival research, and original artifacts, each installment explores the careful restoration and interpretation of a different room, revealing how this remarkable family lived, worked, entertained, and helped shape San Diego.

Throughout this series of six articles, you'll discover the research, craftsmanship, and stories behind the museum's transformation, offering a fresh look at one of San Diego's most significant historic homes and the enduring legacy of the family who called it home.
