A presentation on some of the history of the Olinda Ranch, Olinda Oil Field and the 1880s boomtown of Carlton (near today's Imperial Hwy. and Rose Dr.) will be given next Wednesday, 4 February @ 6 p.m. at the Yorba Linda Public Library Community Room.

| Los Angeles Herald, 3 February 1888. |
A PowerPoint slide show and display of historic artifacts are included. Hope to see you there!
If you missed the previous presentations on some history of the La Vida and Carbon Canyon mineral springs resorts of Carbon Canyon, given to the Chino Hills and Orange County historical societies, or want to get a refresher (get it?), come join us at the Yorba Linda Public Library next Thursday, 6 March @ 6 p.m.
The talk will cover the period from the 1910s through the early 2000s including the operation of the two facilities and their hot mineral water baths, accommodations, cafés, the bottling of La Vida water and more with many illustrations in a slide show. These include some of more than 20 original negatives of La Vida that have largely never been seen publicly before these talks were offered.
Not only that, but dozens of historic artifacts from La Vida, including photos, postcards, brochures, a hotel room key, water bottles and more will be on display and adds another interesting aspect to the event. Come join us and, if you have memories to share of La Vida, the Q&A at the end would be a great time to do so.
Hope to see you there!
