Join
the Friends of Allensworth as we celebrate our 36th
annual rededication at Colonel
Allensworth State Historic Park. This event is sponsored in cooperation with
California Department of Parks and Recreation.
When:
10:00am to 4:00pm, October 13, 2012
Where:
Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park, 4011 Grant Drive, Earlimart, CA 93219.
One of the founding principles leading to the establishment of the
town of Allensworth is education.
Allensworth became a school district February 8, 1912, so this
year marks the 100 year anniversary of a school district established by African
Americans in California.
This special Annual Rededication is presented to renew the
commitment of the citizens of California to help the Department of Parks and
Recreation preserve the history of the ethnically diverse contributions made in
the development of the state of California and our nation. Our children get to
have an enjoyable history education day with square dancing, tour of the
historic buildings, including the two room school house, and games with prizes
for the winners. Adults also get free tours and great entertainment in a fabulous
outdoor event. There are also arts and crafts and food vendors for your
enjoyment.
