Colonel Allensworth State Park....
Allensworth is the only California town to be founded, financed and governed by African Americans. The small farming community was founded in 1908 by Colonel Allen Allensworth and a group of others dedicated to improving the economic and social status of African Americans. Uncontrollable circumstances, including a drop in the areas water table, resulted in the towns demise. With continuing restoration and special events, the town is coming back to life as a state historic park. The parks visitor center features a film about the site. A yearly rededication ceremony reaffirms the vision of the pioneers.
