The tour will provide historical insights into the Korean Americans who settled in Riverside and their involvement
in the citrus industry in the early 1900s and will run from 6pm to 7pm.
Following the tour, there will be an authentic Korean dinner inside the Sunkist Center and special presentations by Dr. Edward Chang and Carol Park. Dr. Chang will share the history of Pachappa Camp in Riverside, the

role in the development of the area.
