I had heard of this place from a friend who had a spiritual experience here. I am so grateful for those who put this together to honor those who did so much with little recognition and respect. I am grateful I took a moment here to meditate and reflect. Very grateful.
Interesting history. I’ve never been to a Chinese cemetery before and I love cemeteries.

Interesting piece of history. Very peaceful. There are short trails throughout. One car can fit in the gravel parking spot. So you may have to park on the street.
A rarely heard part of Baker City history. A must see because photos don't do it justice
