“Pomona Valley History 1830 – 1870” –

Learn about the interesting history of the Pomona Valley! The goal of the Historical Society of Pomona, founded in 1916, is to make the rich and diverse history of the Pomona Valley become a meaningful part of people’s lives. For many years, tourists and locals have visited and toured these historic sites: Casa Primera de Palomares, Adobe de Palomares, Phillips Mansion, the Currier home, and Spadra cemetery. Unfortunately, on Sept. 29, 2024, one of the historical buildings had a fire – the society accepts any help.

Debra Clifford is the current president of HSPV, in her 8th year. She taught English for many years, retired, and studied history. In so doing, she also found a love for telling stories.

This meeting with speaker Debra Clifford was a presentation at DoubleTree in Claremont.
