I was able to go into the library and asked Marilyn if she could show me her High School picture and she was able to find it.

Wow what a hidden gem!! The Raymond M Alf Museum of Paleontology is tucked away in Claremont on the…read moreWebb school campus. Since it is a high school, you must show your IDs at the gate to be given a badge to get onto campus. The museum is closed Sunday-Tuesday. Wednesday -Friday from 11am-5pm, and Saturday from 11am-5pm. Admission Pricing (March 2026): $12 General $9 Youth/Senior $9 Student with ID FREE 4 and under FREE CA teachers, EBT & WIC cardholders This museum is 2 levels. The top is a chronological walk through history and the bottom level is more of a hands-on interactive play area for kids. We spent about an hour at this museum. We had so much fun exploring history. In order we went through the Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic periods. The fossils and skeletons were so fascinating. This would have been such a great spot for a field trip back in grade school. I had a lot of fun exploring history and taking selfies. Highly recommended for those who enjoy dinosaurs, fossils, or history!

This museum is on a college campus shout out to the grounds people the grass looks so beautiful. I…read morethought it was fake. It is a very clean very quiet campus. It cost $24 for two people to get into the museum. The parking was free, but you do have to check in with the parking guy he'll print you out a pass since it is still a college, but I post some pictures of the museum. It was somewhere nice to go especially in this heat. it's interesting to see the different artifacts and fossils. It's a nice little date day or kid date day but like I say, give it a try and you decide.

I've long wanted to see this historic, artsy house, and since Maloof attended Chino schools, as did…read moremy cousin, I took my cousin for a look-see. We booked the 1.5 hour tour, which was a guided tour of the house that Maloof built and lived in until his death, and a self-guided tour of an art space, some grounds, and a wood working shop. Filled with his beautiful, handmade pieces of furniture and decor from others, this house is a real treasure to behold. Traveling from room to room, we learned Maloof's history and influences, and of those who admired his work, and learned about his dynamic wife Alfreda. (Not a word was said about Sam's second wife!) I wish I would have met Alfreda, as she sounds like she was really something! Our tour guide could have been better: I though he was boring, talked a lot about himself, and neglected to tell us certain things, like alerting us to the wall in the final room that showcased photos of prominent admirers of Maloof's work (like President Jimmy Carter), as well as the fact that he had been awarded a MacArthur Fellowship Grant. It would be fun to take a class in this environment. There was a live music performance, free for all.

It turns out the day we were there was also the same day as an open workshop. My daughter was expertly guided, with great care, to create the project of the day. She was elated. After we walked the large grounds, which included a couple homes, workshops, and gardens. The stroll through the gardens felt like we were off season, as drought conditions were impacting the foliage. We finally made a stop in the gallery, where another workshop was wrapping up. Great experience. Will be back with the kids for the next event.

The bricks that are on the house today are the original bricks hand made by the masons with red clay found on the property. The home's flat roof was waterproofed with tar that was brought from the brea pits in Orange County. This is considered to be the first house built in Rancho Cucamonga. I've lived in Rancho Cucamonga on and off for the last 10 years and had no idea about the history of this beautiful place. Over the years the Rains House passes through several hands and was vacant for a while. The County of San Bernardino purchased the property in 1971. This house is considered a branch off the County of San Bernardino Museum. The house had been vandalized and needed restoring and furnishings . The women of Casa de Rancho Cucamonga Historical Society raised money through fundraisers and making crafts to sell, to assist in restoring the John Rains Home. They were able to furnish the home with authentic furniture and decoration from the time period. I posted pictures of some of the rooms and furnishings. The Docent Judy gave me a really nice tour. There are restrooms outside and a picnic area if you want to enjoy a nice sack lunch. The property is very pretty with the scenic mountains in the background. There is plenty of free parking and not many visitors. Please support the county and visit. I will definitely be coming back. They also rent out space for gatherings. Someone could plan a nice picturesque wedding here for sure. Hours : 10:00am - 3:00pm Open : Tuesday - Saturday. Closed major holidays Contact # (909) 989-4070

Amazing historic museum spots on Route 66…read more... The 2 volunteers, Gary and Mike, were friendly and informative. I purchased a cute little magnet for my fridge. If you're in the Rancho Cucamonga area or on Route 66, stop by and discover the history of the Richfield Gas Station.

There isn't a whole lot to see or do, but love the vibe and history of this place. It was in business from 1915 to early 1970s but deteriorated shortly after until restoration began around 2010. Restoration is still ongoing, and I can't wait to see what else they add to this place. It's a great stopping point to take some photos outside and purchase Route 66 memorabilia inside the small museum/store. I think this place is mainly run by volunteers and has limited hours of operation. The attendant was friendly and offered to take photo for us. You can purchase a commemorative brick and put your name or message on it. Proceeds go toward restoration and preservation of this historic site. Currently there are two brick sizes you can purchase: 4"x8" brick (4 lines, 21 characters per line) - $150 8"x8" brick (8 lines, 21 characters per line) -$295 I plan on purchasing a brick before this place runs out of space.
