Lost Hill Park

Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park is the only California town established, financed, and governed by African Americans. Founded in 1908 by Colonel Allen Allensworth and his community, this pioneering farming settlement aimed to elevate the economic and social standings of African Americans, although it later faced challenges that led to its decline. The park serves to honor the rich history of the town through ongoing restoration efforts and educational programs. Visitors can explore interpretive panels and self-guided brochures throughout the park, providing insight into life in this remarkable community during the early 20th century.
