Event date: Wednesday, May 27, 2015
Seniors ages 60 and older will be admitted to the San Bernardino County Museum in Redlands at no cost on Wednesday, May 27, 2015 during regular museum hours, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Free admission for seniors is made possible by a contribution from Mike Pichardo of Pichardo Benefit Services. All other museum visitors are welcome at regular admission prices.
“Because I have been serving the seniors of San Bernardino County for 10 years with their Medicare insurance needs, said Pichardo, “it is a privilege to express my deep appreciation for you all. Stay active and enjoy!”
While at the museum, visitors can see three new temporary exhibits. “Spider Woman’s Legacy” features Navajo rugs and blankets dating from the turn of the last century to the mid-twentieth century. “Turn Left at the Rockies” explores mountain men from 1826 to 1850 and their contributions to the history and development of San Bernardino County and Southern California. The “Remember Ramps” showcase technology, from telephones to typewriters, letting visitors use their own memories of everyday objects to create stories amongst themselves.
Curator of Paleontology Eric Scott will give an illustrated lecture at 11 a.m. with the title, “Sabretooth!” This presentation is included with museum admission.
Spider Woman’s Legacy, Remember Ramps, Turn Left at the Rockies, and the County Museum’s other exciting events and exhibits reflect the effort by the Board of Supervisors to achieve the Countywide Vision by celebrating arts, culture, and education in the county, creating quality of life for residents and visitors..
