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.

Edwards Mansion

The Edwards Mansion was built on Cajon St in Redlands, California in 1890. Mr. James S. Edwards, pioneer citizen and citrus grower, purchased ready-made plans to build the fourteen room Victorian house. It took over one year to build this beautiful home. The building was originally used as a boarding house for several years before the Edwards family moved in. It was then used as the Edwards family residence until the death of Mrs. Edwards in 1958. In 1967, Plymouth Village acquired the house and used it for office headquarters for six years. In 1973, the developers of the Edwards Mansion complex recognized the house as a classic example of Victorian architecture and began restoration. The Mansion was purchased for the sum of one dollar, cut into two sections, moved five miles through Redlands and relocated on the site of the old Barton Ranch. The structure as been beautifully restored.
A short distance from the mansion is the Orange Tree Wedding Chapel. The stained glass windows and pews incorporated into this structure were once part of the first Evangelical Lutheran Church built in Redlands on Olive Avenue in 1904. The chapel, other structures, and patio are used extensively for wedding receptions and banquets.
The Edwards Mansion is located just north of Interstate 10 freeway adjacent to the San Bernardino County Museum.
