     Steve Williamson, who is on staff at the Temecula Valley Museum in Old Town Temecula will give a zoom presentation on the history of Guenther's Murrieta Hot Springs Resort. His presentation will chronicle the history of the resort and the Guenther family.

Nearly every long-time resident of Murrieta has fond memories of the Murrieta Hot Springs Resort and of the Guenther family. The resort provided jobs for hundreds of Murrieta residents. In times past the Murrieta Hot Springs Resort was a destination of the rich and famous of Hollywood and people from across the country came to bask in the warm California sunshine and to relax in the soothing mineral mud baths of the Murrieta Hot Springs Resort.

During the twelve years Williamson has been with the Temecula Valley Museum, he has become an authority on the life and career of Temecula's mystery writer Erle Stanley Gardner, the creator of the famous fictional character Perry Mason. Williamson also authored the book "Pioneers Etched in Stone," a collection of biographies of the individuals whose names are carved onto the face of the 15-ton "They Passed This Way" granite monument in Sam Hicks Monument Park. Williamson has lived in Temecula for more than 30 years and is married with two adult children who also live in the area.
