Redlands Area Historical Society still has spaces open for the Historic Mill Creek Zanja Tour May 23rd at 9:00 a.m. for $25. The tour begins at Stater Brothers Market on the corner of Lugonia and Wabash Avenue. The three-hour tour is in a air-conditioned bus that is only three weeks old. Tom Atchley, president of the historical society, has done a great deal of research and brings the history of this 190 year old irrigation ditch to life. The construction of the ditch was completed by Native Americans in 1819. The oldest settlements in the East San Bernardino Valley grew up along it’s banks. Greenspot, Mentone, Crafton, Redlands, Barton, Old San Bernardino and Loma Linda all trace their history from this first irrigation ditch. For tour information call 307-6060. Only the 9:00 a.m. tour on May 23 has space still open.
An over capacity crowd enjoyed the hospitality of the Wormsers, Levoinis, and Clarks as Tom Atchley gave another of this hallmark talks about the history and architecture of Highlands Avenue homes in Redlands. Forty folks interested in exercise and knowledge took advantage of the cool day on Saturday last, to also enjoy a inside tour of the homes opened by the three families.
Many thanks to the Wormsers, Levoinis, and Clarks for their hospitality.
