The Asistencia in Redlands is joining the Redlands Heritage Park Christmas Celebration.

San Bernardino County Museum historic sites in Redlands will celebrate the holiday season with special events on Saturday, Dec. 6. The Asistencia in Redlands is joining with their neighbors for the Redlands Heritage Park Christmas Celebration on December 6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Asistencia was established in 1819 as part of the Mission San Gabriel’s Rancho San Bernardino. The ranch buildings were in ruins when they were acquired by San Bernardino County; restoration as an asistencia took place between 1926 and 1937. It is recognized as California State Historical Landmark #42. During the celebration, admission to the Asistencia (regularly $5/adult, $4/senior or military, and $2.50/child) will be half price. Visitors will enjoy tours, decorations, music, hot mulled cider, and crafts and games for children. The Asistencia is at 26930 Barton Road in Redlands; for information, call 909-793-5402.
