Hesperia Historical Sites - Monument #2,#3.
One of a series of 13 High Desert Historical Monuments which are
compliments of
the Hesperia Recreation and Park District's
Historical Preservation Committee.
Be Sure to Visit BOTH MONUMENTS #2 and #3 which are
located at two different locations.
The TWO MONUMENTS are located less than 500
feet from each other.
I have provided WAYPOINT COORDINATES for BOTH
MONUMENTS.
