A Self-Guided Walking Tour of Nevada City China Quarter

Lisa Redfern and Rose Murphy recently published a free self-guided walking tour of Nevada City’s China Quarter. It features 25-stops that reveal the rich history of Chinese families, their businesses, community temple, performances and stories. These are set alongside narratives of the discrimination Chinese faced. Through interviews with descendants, archival newspaper articles, historical photographs, and expert insights, this tour offers a multifaceted view of their legacy. Available for download on your phone or accessible on your laptop, the tour underscores the importance of confronting historical prejudices that still resonate today. It is our collective responsibility to honor those who came before us by fostering a society where everyone is valued and treated with dignity, ensuring that the lessons of the past are not forgotten or repeated.
