César E. Chávez National Monument

Welcome to the virtual tour of the César E. Chávez National Monument in Keene, California. In the 1970s, Chávez made this place not only a home for his family but also the pulsating heart of the farmworker movement. In this experience you will step into the modest Chavez home nestled the heart of the community which came to be known as Villa de la Paz. The simple white home served as a peaceful sanctuary and central hub for Chávez, his family, and the movement's passionate volunteers. Today, Chávez's legacy thrives as his family continues to inhabit La Paz, maintaining its history in partnership with the National Park Service. Join Park Ranger Miranda Hernandez and three of Chávez's descendants as they share stories from this historic landscape and their nostalgic memories of growing up here.
