Dedicated to the preservation of California's Main Street – former US Highway 99
99 Alert Update – Calimesa Area
Good news from Calimesa! Our campaign to save the date stamps from the 1925 paving on Roberts Road is a success! The stamps will be removed from the existing paving in the very near future and held by the City of Calimesa to be displayed at their new library. We will post additional information on any events or ceremonies as we get closer.
We wish to thank all who helped us in this preservation effort!
