The Museum of Redlands, also known as MOR, will be the future home of many historical and important items that are relevant to the city of Redlands. The Museum will transform and expand the former Redlands Daily Facts building on Brookside Avenue and Center Street, to a more than 14,000 square foot facility including exhibition space, an events pavilion and a garden that promises to be ideal for public and private events. Construction and renovation are expected to be underway soon, while an effort to raise funds and awareness are the focus to fully realize the goal to build the museum.
