Santa Fe Depot
The Riverside County Board of Supervisors, at their meeting on
Tuesday, March 22, 2011, voted to approve the Santa Fe Depot, now
the home of the Lake Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce, as an
historical landmark. The train station was built in 1896 by
the California Southern Railway Company. The station was
used by passengers and for freight shipments of farm products in
its heyday. The Riverside County Historical Commission,
chaired by Joyce Hohenadl, recommended the designation in
Novermber |

1925 American LaFrance Fire Engine
The first fire engine owned
by the City of Lake Elsinore had a broken clutch and it has been
repaired by the City of Lake
Elsinore's Maintenance Crew. It was restored by the Lake
Elsinore Historical Society and
a committee chaired by LEHS Member Russ Burns. We are
delighted it was in the
Put Unity in the Community Parade
held on November 21, 2009 and
was one of the parade's highlights. Elsinore No. 1 is a
beauty and we are very proud to have this treasure to show off
to the community! Presently, Elsinore No.1 resides at Fire
Station #85 at McVicker Park |
