Expereince the bounty of our diverse museums of cultre, valor and preservation that proudly showcase our multi-ethnic heritage.  This 304-page was the collaboration of more than 150 contributors in partnership with the Fresno County Office of Education and covers more than 200 topics complete with timelines, stories and over a thousand historical and present day photographs.  Published in 2006 for the Fresno County Sesquicentennial.
