Hello, I'm Marney Gibbs. What I really want to say to you is "Welcome to Staunton!"

This is my home town.  I was born in Staunton to a family with deep roots in the area.  One great-grandfather founded Staunton Military Academy. Another great-grandfather founded the local independent telephone company. My grandmother helped to establish the Woodrow Wilson Birthplace Foundation, now the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library at the Birthplace. After college (away) I came back in 1971 to discover a town on the verge of renaissance.

I have raised my children here, watching the town come alive again with an understanding of what there is here to preserve, appreciate and share. I have recently co-authored a book with Joe Nutt, artist and writer, about our local historic houses, Historic Houses of Staunton, Virginia.

As Staunton Guided Tours has grown, I have invited friends and neighbors who know and love Staunton to join my group. They are all experienced guides and know our history. We all
