ALLENSWORTH – YOUR PARTICIPATION MAKES A DIFFERENCE Proceeds will benefit Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park (SHP). In August 1908 Colonel Allen Allensworth and four other settlers established a town founded financed and governed by African Americans. In 1974 California State Parks purchased land within the historical town site of Allensworth and it became Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park. The dream of the settlers to develop an abundant and thriving community stemmed directly from a strong belief in programs that allowed African Americans to help themselves create better lives. Today a collection of lovingly restored and reconstructed early 20th century buildings including the Colonel’s House, historic schoolhouse, Baptist church and library once again dots this flat farm country, giving new life to the dreams of the these visionary pioneers.
