Spadra Cemetery Tours

Service Description

A Night in Old Spadra: Tour a historic cemetery from 1868 in the Pomona Valley, and hear the stories of the people who are buried there. As Americans headed out west to make or break their fortunes as property titles changed hands, they often came to Spadra, a main stage coach stop with a popular hotel and saloon. This tour, and this cemetery, connect the stories of the Phillips Mansion, the Currier House, and the expansive Rubottom family from America's earliest days in this area. The ground is very uneven. Please bring comfortable close toed shoes. We recommend bringing a flashlight or lantern, as there is minimal lighting provided for ambiance. There may be t-shirts and stickers available for purchase on site, cash only. PLEASE PARK ON THE STREET outside the main gate at 2850 Pomona Blvd. The driveway is hidden between an overpass and an industrial business. It is a walking tour, and there is a bit of a walk down a long dark driveway to get there.
