Caesar Chavez established the National Farm Workers Association, the first permanent agricultural union. It evolved into the UFW (United Farm Workers), which was headquartered here. The site was established as a National Monument by President Obama in 2012.
Entry to the National Monument is so inviting, especially on a hot day.
The courtyard next to the Visitors' Center.
The Memorial Garden is next to the courtyard.
It is a peaceful, cool area where Caesar Chavez and his wife are buried.
The park has several buildings, some of which served as a tuberculosis sanitarium in the early 1900s.
Houses for workers are also on the grounds.
The headquarters with views of the Tehachapi Mountains.
Si Se Puede (Yes, We Can) as you exit the park.
Nearby is the Keene Deli, if you need to grab a bite to eat.
