Palomares Adobe

Would you help us start a collection of cemetery photographs for the Palomares Memorial Park?

Do you have pictures of the Palomares Memorial Park when it still had grave markers? Pictures from any era, even if it's after the vandalism began, would be greatly appreciated! Whether the picture is of one headstone or a larger area, we would love to see it. If you have any questions about this, please contact us! You can message this account, email us at PomonaHistorical.org, or call us at 909-623-2198. We'd love to hear from you!
