We didn't really plan it that way, but today somehow turned out to be Menifee history day on Menifee 24/7.
This morning, we told readers the story of the Zeiders barn, a landmark building that burned down last week. Also today, we revealed the location of Menifee Maze 7 -- the old Bailey house on Scott Road.
Not only that, but most of you had the correct answer in Menifee 24/7 Reader Poll 9, which actually was a quiz about the origin of Newport Road. Yes, it's named after pioneer farmer William Newport (pictured here at far left, with family members in front of his ranch house).
So in keeping with our history theme, here's a quiz about the man after whom the city is named: Luther Menifee Wilson, who arrived in the 1880s and discovered gold quartz here. The question is, what was Luther's home state?
