The mission of Smiley Heritage Tours is to ensure the story of our beloved, historic community is never forgotten. We teach students about the many people, past and present, who gave and continue to give so much to Redlands. We encourage our fourth-grade students to remember and celebrate these individuals. We hope that, throughout their lives, our students will be inspired by this generosity and will remember the importance of these words written on the Redlands Bowl Procellis: “Without Vision a People Perish”
Thank you to Redlands Unified School District Educational Services Department,
