Visit the new exhibit in Union Station. CHSSC provided support for this project.
Union Station stands at the site of Los Angeles’ original Chinatown. This once vibrant community of families, businesses, and associations with roots going back to the middle of the 19th century was a place where the Chinese community and Chinatown persisted, grew rapidly, and thrived. Where You Stand: Chinatown 1880 to 1939 invites participants into the center of the vibrant community of families, businesses, and associations through a multi-dimensional experience of the Chinese immigrant community of early Los Angeles.
