About this campground
Explore the history of Cesar Chavez and the farmworker movement. Originally built in 1914, the visitor center was entirely rebuilt in 2003. Inside, watch films about Cesar’s life, contemplate his office, and view exhibits that tell the story of the boycotts and marches that began the farmworker movement, and of the people who united to work for human rights. The visitor center has an auditorium that has hosted naturalization ceremonies, and a store that offers books and souvenirs. There is no entrance fee.
Getting there
The monument is located near the small town of Keene, California on Highway 58. From Highway 58, take exit 138 toward Keene, then turn right (east) on Woodford-Tehachapi Road. Travel about 0.5 miles (0.8 km) east on Woodford-Tehachapi Road and the entrance to César E. Chávez National Monument will be on your left. Travel on the driveway across a bridge over a creek and bear right up a hill. The parking area on the left at the top of the hill is for the visitor center.
