We would like to thank Stephanie L. Billings of Mentone for sharing spectacular photos that capture a significant piece of the county’s history.
Wigwam Village #7 in San Bernardino is one of the most recognized sites along Route 66. It was designed and developed by businessman and architect Frank Redford between 1947 and 1950 and remains one of only three Wigwam Villages still standing in the United States.
For decades, travelers passing through the area were drawn to its unique design, which helped set it apart from other stops along the Mother Road. In recognition of its historical significance, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. Additional historical information about Wigwam Village #7 can be found on the National Park Service website.
