Second Tuesday Speaker Series on June 9
Redlands Conservancy's speaker series at Historic Asistencia continues on Tuesday, June 9 with a program about possibly the most historic road in the entire East San Bernardino Valley - Mission Road in Loma Linda. Regional historian Jim Shipp will present the program titled "“Frink Adobe: The Funny Little Street that Changed History.” Shipp is the Project Manager for the Frink Adobe Restoration Project for Two Canyons Conservancy. One of the best-preserved remnants of Loma Linda’s history, the Frink Adobe was built in the mid-1870s along today’s Mission Road. Shipp will reveal the set of events that turned Mission Road into a roadmap of our history, from ancient times to modern developments. Frink Adobe was one of the main features of the road, and its site has the oldest producing citrus grove in the valley. Second Tuesday programs start at 6:30pm with refreshments and 7pm for the program. They are free and open to the public; registration is required at http://www.redlandsconservancy.org/second-tuesday-speaker-series/.
