SDHC presents Becoming Scripps Ranch
The San Diego History Center, located in Balboa Park, will present “San Diego 101: Becoming Scripps Ranch” on Tuesday, Nov. 9, noon-1 p.m. via Zoom.
When members of the Scripps family arrived in the 1890s, San Diego was a sleepy little town built mostly around the downtown waterfront. E. W. Scripps and his half-sister Ellen Browning Scripps quickly found their places in the business and philanthropic communities, although they lived at opposite ends of Miramar Road.
Hear stories of how the family members faced personal challenges which ultimately affected where transportation lines were extended, how water was distributed and how the construction of a mansion in the middle of nowhere was possible using well-known local talent.
