These photos were borrowed from a yahoo group called, “Rialto 50’s and 60’s.” Since I just posted a little story from my own life regarding the wig wams, I thought it would be nice to post some photos.
The Wig Wam Motel is actually located on Foothill Blvd (Route 66) right at the borderline of Rialto and San Bernardino. I don’t really know the people in the photos, but they were having some sort of reunion called, “Memories Of The 1950’s at RJHS.” Although I went to RJH, I’m too young to go to a 50’s reunion.
Anyway, these photos will remain until someone tells me I can’t use them.

We are delighted to see you using the Wigwam Motel photos from our Rialto50and60s site. (note the s got left off 50s). Use any other photos in the site that you would like. We have photos of the Tharp Drive-in on Route 66 in Rialto. It was owned and operated by the parents of famed dancer and choreographer. Twyla Tharp. Twyla worked at the drive-in until she left for college. In the future we plan to put together a Route 66 in Rialto online photo album in this website.
