Overview

You will get to experience a self guided walking tour of a Cantonese 19th Century Christian Chinese funeral procession that traveled through the former Chinatown in honor of WWII Congressional Gold Medal veteran, Joe You Chew, who was 99.5 years old and the last Chew family resident in Tehama County.

This self-guided tour will walk you through the life of one of the original Chinese families in Tehama County.

It will also present the historical structures from the former Chinatown which survived many years of trials and tribulations.

All proceeds go to the Helen and Joe Chew Foundation which provides a scholarship fund dedicated to Joe You Chew’s alma mater Red Bluff Union High School.
