    FARM LABOR MUSEUM OPENS IN CALIFORNIA

    Leisure Group Travel
    Jan 25, 2010

    The new Tulare County Museum of Farm Labor and Agriculture in Visalia,
    Calif., is filled with cutting-edge multimedia technology and 200
    years' worth of artifacts and narratives celebrating the ethnic
    diversity of the area. The Armenian Experience continues through June.

    The African American Experience opens in February, while the Dust
    Bowl Era opens in July. The 17,000-square-foot, barn-like structure
    showcases the rich cultural heritage of the people who have farmed
    the valley, beginning with the Native Americans, the influx of
    Mexicans during the pre-statehood era, and the arrival of other
    ethnic groups like the Armenians, Dutch and Portuguese. (559-733-6616,
