| Landmark #186 | Riverside County | Visited: February 4, 2012 | Plaque? YES! 🙂 |
| What is it? | A stone marker and state plaque marking the place of the Serrano family’s leather tanning vats! |
| What makes it historical? | THE GUIDE SAYS: Nearby, two vats were built in 1819 by the Luiseño Indians under the direction of Leandro Serrano, first non-Indian settler in what is now Riverside County. The vats were used in making leather from cow hides. In 1981 the vats were restored and placed here by the Billy Holcomb Chapter of E Clampus Vitus.
OTHER TIDBITS: Whoever created this stone marker misspelled Don Leandro’s name as “Leonardo!” |
