About us...

  Marney Gibbs

Hello, I am Marney Gibbs. What I really want to say to you is "Welcome to Staunton!" I was born here 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. I went to public and private school (Stuart Hall) here and then away to college. I came back 18 years later 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 historic houses here, called Historic Houses of Staunton, Virginia.           I have recently invited people who know and love Staunton to join my group. They are all experienced guides and know our history. We LOVE sharing our home town with visitors. Come enjoy it with us!
