For National Historic Preservation\nmonth, the Redlands Historical Society is sponsoring  a celebration of the legacy of Highway 99\nwhich traversed Redlands before the completion of the Interstate 10 freeway in\n1962.<\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

In 1936 Highway 99 was established\nthrough the central part of Redlands which had been part of the \u201cOcean to Ocean\nHighway\u201d created in 1915. The state highway designation caused the renaming of\nWater Street and Central Avenue. The completion of Interstate 10 freeway in\n1962 caused the renaming of the Highway 99 to Redlands Boulevard.<\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Tom Atchley, president of the\nRedlands Area Historical Society, will present a series of slides depicting a\ncollection of buildings and facilities that used to be frequented by travelers\non Highway 99. He will explore the historic impact that Highway 99 had on the\ncommunity of Redlands and what has happened since the construction of the\nInterstate freeway. <\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

 <\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Historical Society programs are free and open to the\npublic. The meeting will be held on Monday, May 23, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. at the Contemporary Club at 175 Eureka Street. To attend via Zoom register in advance for\nthis webinar at:<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
