Wigwam Motel, Rialto, San Bernardino County

Wigwam Motel

The Wigwam Motel in Rialto is one of two remaining “villages” along historic Route 66 (a third is in Kentucky). Designed and built by Frank A Redford in the 1930s and 1940s, there were originally seven “Tipi” villages located from Florida to California. The remaining three motels are all listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This motel is on the border of the two cities of Rialto and San Bernardino.
