A state park interpreter will guide you on a virtual historical tour of the town of Allensworth and its residents circa the early 1900s. Allensworth is a historic town founded, financed, and governed by African Americans and located in the southern San Joaquin Valley. This collection of restored and reconstructed buildings mark the locations of a schoolhouse, a Baptist church, businesses, homes, a hotel, a library, and various other structures. These structures also symbolize the rebirth of Colonel Allensworth’s dream of an independent, democratic town where African Americans could live in control of their own destiny.

Join Tijuana River Estuary Research Coordinator Dr. Jeff Crooks and Education Coordinator Anne Marie Tipton as they discuss the effects of tropicalization on the ecosystem of the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve. Tropicalization is a climate change phenomenon in which warm-water species expand into cooler areas where they were formerly rare or absent. The Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve is located immediately north of the international border between the U.S. and Mexico. This unique location, where people and natural systems straddle an artificial boundary, adds a variety of challenges as well as opportunities to collaborate in addressing tropicalization.
