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.

Outdoor exhibits inclide an exhibit to California agriculture with emphasis on orange production, a locomotive, several vignetts on logging, mining, and a water wheel. Another smaller builidng is the Exploraton Station. Most of the upper level contains one of the finest collections of bird eggs on display in the country.

A ramp between the main and upper level contains exhibist on minerals and fossils and the opper lever also has a changing exhibit space.
The San Bernardino County Museum was founded in 1952 by the San Bernardino County Museum Association. It opened to the public in 1957, and was donated to the County of San Bernardino in 1961. The facility moved from Bloomington, California to its present home in Redlands in 1974.

While the San Bernardino County Museum may not be along the El Camino Real that runs along the California coast between the missions, it is only a few miles from the San Bernardino Estancia, an outlying rancho belonging to Mission San Gabriel. Photo date: 1-29-05.
