The Redlands Area Historical Society, Inc.

The Redlands Area Historical Society, Inc. Established in 1972, the Redlands Area Historical Society seeks to support and to advance the many facets of the area's historic resources.

Although a Redlands Area Historical Society was organized in 1900, today’s Society was established in 1972 and incorporated in 1974. The Redlands Area Historical Society’s purpose is to support and to advance the many facets of the area’s historic resources. Historic resources, sites, and memorabilia provide tangible links to, and visible reminders of, the past, bringing continuity and perspective

to our lives. By perpetuating our past through the preservation of historic resources, we maintain a rich diversity in our community life. By respecting and restoring architectural integrity of structures and by conserving neighborhood environments, we preserve the unique character and document the historical evolution of the place in which we live. The Redlands Area Historical Society, Inc., emphasizes the conservation of the past in terms of buildings, neighborhoods, written and oral history, and memorabilia as well as programs to educate citizens, young and old, on the significance of the values of Redlands’ heritage.
