HEMET – The Hemet Heritage Foundation and Hemet Museum are excited to host a special presentation titled “Classic Photos of Hemet San Jacinto Valley from the Clarence Swift Collection – Part 2.” The event will be held on Monday, Oct. 14, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Memorial Funeral Services, located at 1111 S. State St., Hemet (SW corner of State and Stetson). Doors will open at 6 p.m., and complimentary refreshments will be served.
Dave Sisk will showcase historic photographs from early San Jacinto, Hemet, Valle Vista, Winchester, Sage, and other surrounding areas, many of which come from the extensive Clarence Swift Collection and a smaller portion from the Hemet Museum’s archives. The photos, digitized by Dave’s father, Gordon Sisk, offer a rare glimpse into the valley’s past.
