Mormon Road!

Mormon Road
Landmark #96 San Bernardino County Visited: June 16, 2013 Plaque?  YES! 🙂
What is it? A plaque marking an old Mormon lumber road stretching from San Bernardino all the way to the top of Sierra Madre!
What makes it historical? THE GUIDE SAYS: When the Mormons came to the San Bernardino valley in 1851 they needed suitable lumber to construct their homes and stockade. To bring in lumber from the mountains they built an 11-mile wagon road that required about a thousand days’ labor to complete.

OTHER TIDBITS: That pretty well sums it up!
