The Stein Family Farm was the home of the Stein Family from 1900 until 1992. Charles Stein was born on Christmas 1861 and died in 1954. He, his wife Bertha and their five children lived on the farm. Charles and Bertha were both born in Germany and their families immigrated to California during the 1880s. They met in National City, married in 1891 and moved to Charles' farm close to the Mexican border. Charles was a very successful farmer and got angry when his property was flooded by the construction of the Otay Dam. He took the builders of the dam to court and sued them for a settlement because he did not like the paltry amount of money he was offered for the loss of his property. Charles Stein won his law suit. With $1,000 of this money, the Steins purchased the property in National City in 1900. The Stein's house, the barn and other buildings along with over 2 acres of property now make up the Stein Family Farm Museum.1. Sprague, Edward, J. (Ed.). The Farm Quarterly Winter 1994 RP.
