Kam Wah Chung Museum

The Kam Wah Chung Museum, located in John Day, Oregon, is a historic site that showcases the rich cultural heritage of Chinese immigrants in the American West during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Originally a general store and apothecary operated by Chinese immigrant Lung On and his partner, the museum features preserved artifacts, photographs, and exhibits that tell the story of their contributions to the local community and the challenges they faced. It serves as an important reminder of the diverse cultural influences that shaped the region's history.
