We took a little trip to Locke and Walnut Grove. A couple of historic towns in the delta of California.

Part of Walnut Grove Chinese section  burnt down.  So the immigrants approached George Locke about building a town on his land and they made an agreement. Locke was founded in 1918.

The railroad and levee work was mostly done by 1915 so the town has grocery stores, museums, gambling joints , a school and more. At that time most of the work was in farm labor. I enjoyed walking around historic Locke and seeing the different historic structures . Walnut Grove was quaint.
