Marking California History Along the Old El Camino Real

This Mission Bell Marker can be found near the intersection of El Monte Avenue and El Camino Real on the southbound side of the roadway.

I'm not sure if drivers and passengers are taking note of what is outside their windows these days as they ride along America's highways. But there is a lot of history to see out there for those who would find it.

Here is the story of one man who just wanted an antique bell for his garden, and ended up preserving an historic feature of a much loved California roadway. This appears in the February 6, 2019, edition of the Los Altos Town Crier.
