Historical Landmarks

While looking for something to do this weekend. I googled free things to see in LA as we want to go out that way for lunch ... gotta love KING TACO!!!! But i didn't want to make the drive and not do "anything". When looking at the list of free things to see many of them had a historical landmark number so i decided to see how many landmarks are in California ... Can you say WOW. They are broken down by city. (click the title to go to their website).
So i think that as Tim and look travel around using the book Jill bought me for the bridal shower (best places to kiss in southern California) see blog on the right side, we will take a few detours and see some historical landmarks.
Visit your local Historical Landmarks and share your experiences and link back to the blog so i can take a peek and see the world!

Here is what a Historical Landmark is: (as taken from their website)

The resource also must be approved for designation by the County Board of Supervisors or the City/Town Council in whose jurisdiction it is located; be recommended by the State Historical Resources Commission; and be officially designated by the Director of California State Parks. CHLs #770 and above are automatically listed in the California Register of Historical Resources.Criteria for Designation To be eligible for designation as a Landmark, a resource must meet at least one of the following criteria:
