SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

Locke is the only Chinese town in America designated as a National Historic Landmark. Locke serves as a reminder of the hundreds of Chinese communities that once existed across the American West, home to the pioneers who brought critical expertise and labor to the building of early America.  Come with us on a personal tour of the town led by a descendent of Delta, and then visit a local farm!
