Fans of history know that it is somewhat of a rare occurrence to get a glimpse of what life was like centuries ago. Luckily, places like the Kimberly Crest House and Gardens make it possible to revisit history. This amazing structure was built in 1897 and was considered the “castle” because of its distinctive design. It stands as a fine example of lavish Victorian architecture. The home's namesake, Kimberly Crest, donated the property to the city of Redlands and it has been a vital historical link to the area's past ever since. The house is available for tours, but it is suggested that you call ahead to schedule a specific time.

For the urban cowboy (or cowgirl) in everyone, there's the Brandin' Iron Saloon and Dance Hall. This charmingly rustic nightlife spot is one of those places that could have been the setting for the famous “Urban Cowboy” movie. The venue features various live country bands, dance lessons and the ever-popular mechanical bull that always attracts plenty of takers. There is also a delicious dinner menu available, too.

When the only thing that will rescue you from that feeling of being sleepy and being tired is a good strong cup of coffee, let DJ's come to your rescue! For years, d.j.

DJ's also offers an excellent menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner items that are all served in a charmingly vintage diner setting.
