On Thursday, Nov. 9, at 7 p.m., the San Gorgonio Pass Historical Society will present “Banning Historical Landmarks: True Stories,” which will explore the drama, daring, and a bit of unexpected danger behind Banning’s own official registered county, state, and national historical landmarks with local historian Pat Murkland. The evening will include a Banning postcard display, and attendees are welcome to bring their own favorite historical Banning postcards to showcase.
The Nov. 9 historical society presentation will be hosted by Dorothy Ramon Learning Center, 127 N. San Gorgonio Ave., Banning. There is plenty of street parking and a municipal lot across the street. The meeting is free and open to all.
