Tony Forster

Thomas Anthony "Tony" Forster served as El Presidente of the San Juan Capistrano Historical Society from 1991 to 2007 and, through his vision, these grounds were dedicated to the development of four houses reflecting various aspects of Capistrano Valley history from its earliest days to the present. A tireless promoter of the city, he worked to promote it worldwide, participated in many activities and institutions, and continually sought to improve them. Known throughout the valley for his outgoing, unpretentious, and likable personality, he made many friends and touched many lives in the community. His family's roots were also important in the development and history of San Juan Capistrano, where his great-great-grandparents Don Juan and Ysadora Pico Forster settled at the Mission in 1884 after buying it from the Mexican government.
