The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta: Touring the Hidden Corners of a Potential National Heritage Area
A recent survey concluded 80% of Californians are unaware of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Yet as a world food supplier, state water source, habitat web, and haven for water-based recreation, its resources are unparalleled. National Heritage Area designation could brand the Delta as a region of national significance, increase heritage tourism, and leverage funding for historic preservation and placemaking. Learn about the Delta’s cultural significance as a gold rush corridor, the nation’s largest reclamation project, and a multi-cultural rural landscape.
This tour will focus on the Delta’s legacy communities with Asian Pacific Islander heritage sites including:
Isleton’s Bing Kong Tong Building and Asian-American Historic Districts, with lunch at Pineapple’s Restaurant
Walnut Grove’s Japanese Historic District and Miyazaki Bathhouse
Locke, the only town in the United States built exclusively by and for Chinese Immigrants
Clarksburg’s Holland Union Gakuen, one of the few remaining pre-World War II Japanese Language Schools
End the tour with wine tasting, a souvenir wine glass, and a behind-the-scenes tour of Clarksburg’s Old Sugar Mill.
