Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park In-Person Field Trip!

Explore Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park!

Bring your students to Allensworth, a town founded, financed and governed by African-Americans. Guided and self-guided options are available at this park.

In 1908, Colonel Allen Allensworth and four other settlers established a town in California’s Central Valley. Their dream of developing an abundant and thriving community stemmed directly from a strong belief in programs that allowed Black people to create a self-sustaining community. Colonel Allen Allensworth and the community of Allensworth represent a significant chapter in the history of African Americans in California and the United States.
