Martha Gentry, from the Fillmore Historical Museum, was the speaker last week at Fillmore Rotary. She gave a brief history of the museum. Edith Jarrett, a world traveler and author of the Spanish book El Camino Real, which was used at Fillmore High School for many years, started the museum in 1970. It has moved several times over the years but is now in its permanent site at 350 Main Street. The entire museum is made up of the Rancho Sespe Bunkhouse, the original Fillmore Train Depot, the Hinckley House, and a garage housing the 1930 Model A pickup truck built by FHS teacher Lin Thomas. He taught his class how to build it, and all worked on it. When it was finished it was driven in The Great Race (1999) across the United States. You will also find the old Bardsdale Post Office. All of the buildings are open for tours. Martha also talked about the historic videos that can be viewed on Zoom. Some examples are Early Fillmore Schools, and Early Search and Rescue. To register for these and more go to Fillmorehistoricalmuseum.org. The museum has been given the 1925 Fillmore Fire Truck and they want to build a firehouse to display it, but there is a large Pepper tree in the area and the city doesn’t want to cut it down, halting plans for the construction. |

Does the name Joel Roberts Poinsett mean anything to you? It’s a pretty good guess that he had something to do with what is now a Christmas season staple – the poinsettia. Poinsett was from South Carolina and could definitely be considered a polymath - a person of wide-ranging knowledge or learning. He had traveled extensively in Europe, Asia and South America and was the confidant of many of the world’s leaders. He served in the South Carolina House of Representatives, as well as being a diplomat, he was also a physician and a botanist. |
