Marston House,

3525 7th Ave, San Diego, CA 92103, United States

"I am a San Diegan and had never been here or heard about it until my mother-in-law was coming from WI to visit and found it. Our tour guide Willam was great and very informative! I loved getting to learn about the entire Marston family and how they contributed to our great city."

"The Marston house was the house of one of the three founding fathers of Balboa park.Mr Marston was the surveyor involved in the parks creation. The Marston house and grounds are very beautiful and perfect for a blanket and basket to enjoy the day The best part is the experience is free,and no one bothers you and there are cool private walks around the gardens.Very low key and five stars fer sure don't miss beautiful Balboa park it's the gem of San Diego."

"Our tour guide at this site was one of the most knowledgeable gentleman on the many historical sights we've visited over the years. We loved the architecture, listening and reading the informational material during the tour. I loved the fact that Mr Marston probably started the concept of fragrance identity in his department stores. You know- when you step into Macy's blindfolded - you know exactly where you are. Forward thinking department store businessman who had babysitting services in the basement of his stores so his customers could leisurely shop. So many philanthropic projects that shaped San Diego. Take this tour to broaden your horizons about this city."

"Unique house to visit, quiet tour, hardly any kids, it's for the older crowd that want to know more about Balboa Park and early San Diego history."

"I had a wonderful visit to the Marston House museum and gardens. The historic house was filled with fascinating artifacts, and the meticulously maintained gardens were a serene escape. A perfect blend of history and natural beauty!"
