The Rim of the World Historical Society.

Founded in 1986, the Historical Society was conceived as part of an "election platform" in Crestline's annual race for Honorary Mayor. Originally known as the Crest Forest Historical Society, the group soon found itself representing all west-end mountain communities from Snow Valley to Cedarpines Park. In 1997, the name was changed to the Rim of the World Historical Society. The Historical Society serves as a resource for all those interested in the history of the San Bernardino Mountains. School programs and lecture series are available free to the public. Our 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization number is C1649193.

Society Events DON’T MISS THE BIGGEST AND BEST ANTIQUE & CLASSIC WOODEN BOAT SHOW YET The 2013 Annual Antique & Classic Wooden Boat Show will take place Saturday, June 8th & Sunday, June 9th at the Lake Arrowhead Village Beginning in the 1920’s, sleek wooden boats began gracing our mountain lakes. For the next 30 years, more and more of their glistening natural wood hulls were slicing through the waters with their unique rumble. These beauties were expensive and guaranteed attention-getters. As such, they were the choice of the rich and famous. Antique boats will vie for trophies and can be viewed up close at the Lake Arrowhead Village docks. On display throughout the village will be vintage woodie cars, hot rods, antique wooden boat models and early outboard motors. Antique boats will also be for sale throughout the village. The show is produced by the Rim of the World Historical Society with the assistance of the Arrowhead Lake Association, the Lake Arrowhead Chamber of Commerce, the Antique & Classic Boat Society, the Up The Hill Woodie Club and Lake Arrowhead Village. For further information, call 909-336-6666.
