Colonel Allen Allensworth was a man of great vision- a Civil War Veteran, Minister, City Planner and Leader of the Buffalo Soldiers (all-African American army regiments in the Western Frontier of the United States). In the twilight of his life he began builing his dream, the town of Allensworth. This program will be an introduction to architectural drawing and history at Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park. Break out your drawing pencils and sketchpads to take a closer look and drawing the historic landscapes and architecture at Allensworth. This new distance learning art in the park program will help provide creative inspiration and technical skills to the future builders and stewards of California and its historic state park system. The Future 'Parkitects' of California!
