INLAND EMPIRE VISITOR & RELOCATION GUIDE
The Gilman Historic Ranch & Wagon Museum in Banning is
the site of the old stage stop. Gilman Ranch faithfully preserves
the history of the San Gorgonio Pass. That history is celebrated
during Banning's big annual event, Stagecoach Days, with pa-
rades, contests, and a BBQ feast.
For more than a cen-
tury, Highland Springs
Resort in Beaumont has
been serving up home-
style
comfort
among
majestic oaks, towering
cedars, rose and cactus
gardens--perfect for re-
treats and conferences.
Beaumont has a bud-
ding art district and an-
tique stores that have
been
around
several
decades. The Beaumont
Cherry
Festival
in
Cherry Valley features
arts & crafts, music,
and--of course, cherry
pancakes.
Also in Cherry Valley is one of the IE's treasure troves of art:
The Edward-Dean Museum. The museum, on 16 acres of lush
grounds with dancing fountains, features late 16th to early 19th
century European & Asian Decorative Arts inside a replica of an
Italian villa.
Best known for its apple orchards, Oak Glen is high in the hills
above Beaumont. At some ranches you can pick your own fruit.
Taste mountain-fresh apples and cider and enjoy hot apple pie in
one of Southern California's most scenic spots.
At the foothills of San Gorgonio Moutain sits the Morongo
Indian Reservation. The Malki Museum in Banning displays art,
artifacts and historical materials of the Indians of The Pass Area
and hosts major cultural events.
For golfers, The Pass has two of the IE's finest courses--
Sun Lakes in Banning and the PGA of Southern California Golf
Club at Oak Valley in Beaumont.
More than 100 years ago, weary stagecoach and train passen-
gers were glad to stop at The Pass for rest and relaxation.
The Pass is still a great place to stop!
