Historic Main Street Walking Tour Schedule for 2009

Historic Main Street will have walking tours for 2009. Sharon Wong Fong is the docent who is leading the tours of the two blocks formerly Chinatown and Japantown. These tours are on the Third Saturday monthly at 2:30 PM. Sharon will meet the group in front of River's Edge Cafe at 7 Main Street. The Asian District was nominated and selected to be placed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1991. Tours can also be arranged by appointment.

Sharon grew up in Isleton's Chinatown and her mother still resides in the town. Sharon is an active member of the Isleton Brannan-Andrus Historical Society. The tour will be of a historic nature, as Sharon shares her experiences growing up in Isleton and the "stories" told to her by her mother who lived her entire life in the Delta and other former residents.

If you have any questions or want more information, please email info@isletonhistory.org.
