The Temecula Gossip Column & Newspaper Articles
      Old newspaper articles and their gossip columns provide a tongue in cheek look at life in Southwest Riverside County during the early part of the 20th century. These articles are taken from the Lake Elsinore Valley Press during the period 1910 - 1920.

       This information would not be possible without the effort put forth by Jeff Harmon. The gossip columns alone took many hours, days and months of tedious research. Thanks to him, these articles now appear online for your enjoyment.

       They are all about the Temecula Valley and it's citizens, and so much fun to read that you might get addicted! Journey back into Temecula's history and see it through the eyes of small town reporters.
