The San Bernardino Society for California Pioneers merged with the San Bernardino Historical Society in 1977 to form the San Bernardino Historical and Pioneer Society.

The Pioneer's Society of San Bernardino County, California, maintains a log club house in which primitive utensils of the covered wagon days are still used in preparing food for the regular monthly socials which include speech-making and old-time square dances and minuets as well as modern fox-trots not to mention the grand finale of supper with fried chicken, cake and trimmings. In the picture is shown Mrs. Laura Case Clark, descendent of pioneers, tending a fire in the open grate in which an iron pot of water is being urged to boil for the coffee-making, while at her feet stands the iron "Dutch Oven" which contains bread baking from the heat of the blaze. An old-fashioned churn stands beside Mrs. Clark. At the right side of the fireplace are to be found a tallow candle dip, a bellows for blowing fires, an ax and a gold pan, utensils which were brought West in covered wagons 75 years ago.
