I had never heard of a garden railroad before seeing this episode of Visiting, but the Fairplex Garden Railroad in Pomona is such a wonderful place, I’m not too surprised to learn that creating these garden railways is a popular hobby worldwide. Join Huell as he visits Fairplex Pomona to see their Garden Railroad. The Fairplex Garden Railroad is considered […]
Yesterday I wrote about two very inspiring men who lived through the forcible relocation of Japanese-Americans during World War 2. Today I’m continuing that theme with this episode of California’s Gold from 2005. Manzanar War Relocation Center was located in the Owens Valley of the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains, and although the camp barracks were dismantled long ago, the past […]
Every time I pass by Auburn’s old courthouse I want to stop and take pictures, but up until now I’ve never managed to actually do it. And even though a few things have changed in Auburn’s historic district since this episode of Road Trip first aired in 2003, watching Huell make the rounds has motivated me all over again. I’m […]
I’ve passed through the city of Chico a few times but never had the opportunity to stay and explore — so I had no idea it was home to this historic park with such a beautiful and varied landscape. There’s so much to see and do here, it truly is the “crown jewel of Chico.” Join Huell as he visits […]
Just when you think you know the history of California, along comes another piece of the story that you’ve never heard before! I’m pretty sure every fourth grader has learned about James Marshall’s 1848 discovery of gold in the American River; but the Holcomb Valley gold rush of 1860 was definitely news to me. In this episode of California’s Gold, […]
I’ve never felt much enthusiasm for pears, but after watching this episode of California’s Gold I may have to give them another try. Unfortunately, this year’s Pear Fair was cancelled; but the date for next year’s event is already set. I also like knowing that such great produce (my favorite is Delta asparagus!) is being grown so close to where […]
Are you looking for a creative pastime with a long and fascinating history behind it? If you’re skilled at woodworking and gluing and you have good eyesight and plenty of patience and determination, building ships in a bottle just might be for you! I don’t think I would be able to sit still long enough to get all those tiny […]
Back in December 2016, I learned a little bit about the Cahuilla people and their history when I visited the Riverside Metropolitan Museum. But there is so much more than could possibly be learned in one short afternoon; that much is clear from seeing Huell’s visit to Palm Springs and to the amazing Palm Canyon oasis in this episode of […]
This Wednesday, for the first time I’ve decided to repeat one of my earlier posts. Earlier this week, as a large number of wildfires raged throughout California, I read the heartbreaking news that California’s very first state park, Big Basin, had been “destroyed” by fire. This beautiful preserve of Giant Sequoias has long been on my list to visit, but […]
