Abstract

This virtual immersive guided tour of Locke, CA, was created to allow students at the University of the Pacific to visit this National Historic Landmark despite the SARS-COV-2 pandemic. The Locke Historic District is the largest, most complete example of a rural, agricultural Chinese-American community in the United States. Located in the San Joaquin Delta, this little town serves as a reminder of the resilience of Chinese immigrants and their often overlooked contributions in our history.
