Hidden Histories: The Dalles Chinatown: Remembering a Community

Using maps, newspaper articles, photographs, and National Archives documents, Jacqueline Cheung and Eric Gleason explore the early development of the Dalles and the formation of its Chinatown in the 19th century. This historical documentation, along with the archaeological excavations of Wing Hong Hai Company Store, help reveal the everyday lives of the merchants and their families who once lived in The Dalles Chinatown. Although abandoned for more than 80 years, there are still many stories their former home can tell.
