You wouldn't know it, but this place is a secret gem in Rancho. It took me awhile to write this…read morereview because I partly wanted to keep the secret to myself haha. But, I can't be greedy! We used this venue for my mom's retirement party and it was amazing. From start to finish Roni was EXTRA helpful in planning the party. She was there the day of to help set up. I don't know any other venue coordinator that does that. I love how flexible she was in set up times and just so willing to work with me and my vision. She was so great in communicating throughout as well. I had tons of questions and she was so helpful at getting them answered for me. And for the price...you can't go wrong. We will definitely be using them for future events!

Their members can be found diligently working on community projects in their own research library, a small, historic building in downtown Fontana, http://www.yelp.com/biz/fontana-historical-society-fontana. As told to us by the docent who escorted us, this was once a home owned by Fontana's founder, A B Miller. The home, hidden in a humble, nondescript neighborhood, is not located near their research library. You must drive about a mile to get there. The property is gated and locked, only viewable from the street if you go unaccompanied. This small home has been well cared for, and is largely in original condition. Stepping inside brings you face to face with life in the early 1900's in Fontana when it was still ranch land, citrus orchards, chicken farms, grape vineyards, and little else. The modest 4 room, one bath home is filled with some original antiques, pictures, many of them donated items. The original kitchen was in a separate building behind the 4 room, 1 bath home. In the side yard several antique vehicles are rusting, there are remnants of winery equipment, and a bright red barn that dominates the backyard. The good condition of this tiny museum is the result of many hands who lovingly respected their small community's influential history, as well as a volunteer faction of the Mormon community who generously offered their time and materials to special projects such as these. There is no entrance fee.

I was traveling to Lake Arrowhead with my yelp BFF Angie M. and decided to play tour guide on our…read moreadventure. As a native to the area, I have always loved looking at the beautiful mountains , and looking at the natural arrowhead formation near the base of the mountain. The Arrowhead is located in the foothills just north of San Bernardino's Wildwood Park (40th Street and Waterman Avenue). This park at the bottom of the mountain is not in the best neighborhood . A chopped up decapitated body was found in this park a couple years back and the area has a high crime rate. No, I didn't want to get myself and friend killed, we were aware of our surroundings and got in and out as quick as we could. We had to wait in the car a couple extra minutes because the "easy tiger" warning was popping up on Angie's phone. We both giggled with nervousness as a transient man without a shirt walked by looking at us like we were crazy Parked in this little parking area. The landmark information plaque and monument had been badly damaged / vandalized. The area was covered with broken bottles, trash, and tagging on the rocks and monument. Even with the area in disarray, the view of the arrowhead is breathtaking. General info: The Arrowhead is 1,375 feet in length and 449 feet in width. It may appear to be man-made or artificial, but it is in fact natural. The face of the Arrowhead consists of light quartz and short white sage. This lighter vegetation shows in sharp contrast to the surrounding chaparral and greasewood. I grew up in Lake Arrowhead and heard some stories about the Arrowhead. The most ancient legend is one handed down from the Indians. The Great Spirit had an arrow. This was to guide his people to the spot where they were to live. The Great Spirit having selected the place, fixed the arrow to mark it forever. It has also been said that the Arrowhead pointed the way to the hot springs below, with healing qualities. Through the years, this landmark has survived numerous forest fires , flooding , and some erosion has taken place. However, the Arrowhead landmark continues to preserve its uniqueness and is easily visible from the local streets, freeway, and park.

We actually stumbled upon this place by accident while heading to the McDonald's Museum, and we…read morewere absolutely blown away by what we found. It was a true discovery that exceeded all expectations. The collection is incredible-the exhibits are deeply historical and truly move you. You can easily spend hours here and still not see everything. One of the most amazing highlights for me was an enormous book filled with original pages from old newspapers; the preservation is stunning. Being here was especially poignant for us as Ukrainians. We grew up on our grandfathers' stories about World War II, but today, these exhibits felt even more personal. With the current war in Ukraine and the horrific invasion causing the loss of our relatives on both sides, being surrounded by this history was incredibly atmospheric and emotional. It is such a gift that this museum is free to the public. Seeing the memorial flags and the dedication to history makes you feel the weight of the past. It's a must-visit for everyone--truly a hidden gem that deserves more recognition.

Housed in a historic building, it has that cozy, local feel that makes you want to take your time and actually read the displays. When I visited, there were exhibits focused on the history of the region along with community art, which gave the space a nice mix of past and present. It's free, easy to explore, and surprisingly engaging for its size. A great little visit if you enjoy learning something new without committing your entire afternoon.

The museum is opened from 12 pm to 5 pm. I've been to Upland several times but we were usually here in the mornings and we never stayed long enough for me to visit, however last weekend we came in the afternoon so I was looking forward to visit. Outside, it's a lovely white 1947 Art Modern building which was used as the Ontario-Cucamonga fruit exchange and inside is the museum that shows you the history and culture of the surrounding cities of Upland, Ontario, Montclair and Rancho Cucamonga. While browsing inside, I had the pleasure of meeting Marilyn Anderson, the Museum Director. I heard wonderful stories of how it was like growing up in Upland. I can imagine her running along the orange groves with her best friend, climbing the trees and hanging out at the corner market watching as people would drive by to pump the gas. Listening to her stories was amazing. She is also a talented artist. You can see some of her work throughout the museum. I picked up several articles that were free to visitors. She wrote in almost every article. Plus with each issue there are stories from other Upland resident of their memories as well as recipes. 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. She's a remarkable woman and beautiful lady inside and out. I was able to take a selfie with her. There's so much I could tell you, but rather you should go visit the museum yourself and find out about the history of these local cities. My son was born in San Antonio Hospital in Upland so I wanted to share a bit of the city's history with him too.
