​​BIG BEAR HISTORY

Big Bear history goes back to the early pioneer days in California. Native America Serranno indians lived here before the pioneers discovered what is now called Big Bear Valley. You can find great books about the history of Big Bear in the village bookstores, the Discovery Center, and the Big Bear Museum. The museum is a great way to spend an afternoon learning about 150 years of history spanning the Gold Rush in the 1860's to the creation of the ski resort community Big Bear has become today!​
