State Parks, Historic Sites, and Museums need your help.
Throughout the country, state parks, historic sites, homes, buildings, museums, and similar institutions are struggling to continue operating. Because of general financial problems, many of these institutions are operating on a reduced schedule or in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Many will not weather these hard times without your help.
Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep state parks open. It will be your loss.

Edward-Dean Museum & Gardens

The Edward-Dean Museum & Gardens is housed in a coltural complex on the edge of a small town on the edge of the Los Angeles Metropolitan area, a surprisingly rural setting for a cultural center. The museum began as the private collections of two fine arts dealers, J. Edward Eberle and Dean W. Stout. Keeping the best pieces for themselves, by the 1950s, they had gathered an impressive collection. They purchased a cluster of building in Cherry Valley, a town a little east of Redlands, and established a museum. In 1964, they donated the museum and property to Riverside County. Additional peices have been added to make this a comprehensive and unique museum.
The art, furniture, and decorative arts are not the only beuatiful objects in the house. The Pine Room was originally in the State Bedroom of Cassiobury Park, home to the Earl of Essex. William Randolph Hearst had purchased the paneling to installed it in Marion Davis' home and when that house was scheduled to be demolished, J. Edward Eberle quickly bought the paneling to install in the new museum, then still under contruction. The grounds include a classical garden.
A changing exhibit gallery provide several temporary exhibits every year.
