Chinatown History
PCDC is creating a Chinatown History Exhibit, set to open in April 2026. As part of this effort, PCDC will set up a table on Sunday, June 29th, outside Holy Redeemer Church from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Stop by to share your Chinatown and Holy Redeemer stories and memories.
If you have old photos you’d like to digitize, bring them along—PCDC staff will be available to scan them for you. You’re also welcome to bring historical items or artifacts related to Chinatown, or leave your contact information at the table so PCDC can follow up with you.
The history of Holy Redeemer is an essential part of the history of Chinatown.
