Who Were Guy and Margaret Fleming?
The house is named after Guy and Margaret Fleming, who were both very important people for nature and parks in California.
Guy Fleming: Nature's Protector
Guy Fleming was a naturalist, which means he loved and studied nature. He was also the park's caretaker, or "custodian," at Torrey Pines Reserve. He helped guide visitors during a big event called the Panama–California Exposition in 1915 and 1916.
Guy Fleming was well-known for his efforts to protect nature all over California. He helped create several state parks, including Anza Desert State Park, Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, and Palomar Mountain State Park. His work helped save many natural areas for everyone to enjoy.
Margaret Fleming: Artist and Naturalist
Margaret Eddy Fleming (1888-1977) was Guy's wife. She was a talented landscape artist and also a naturalist, just like Guy. She loved nature and helped protect it.
There is a special walking path named after her in the Torrey Pines Reserve. It's called the Margaret Fleming Nature Trail. This trail is in the Torrey Pines Reserve Extension Area.
