The Forty Acres, Labor union headquarters in Delano, United States.
The Forty Acres is a complex of multiple buildings in Delano that includes office spaces, a health clinic, a gas station, and residential areas. The site served as a central hub where various activities related to the farm labor movement took place.
The site was established in the 1960s and quickly became central to a major farm labor rights movement in the region. The events that unfolded here had lasting effects on agricultural labor relations across California.
This location brought together workers from Filipino and Mexican communities who fought collectively for better conditions and fair treatment in agriculture. The buildings and spaces here still show how these groups organized their daily work and community life together.
The site is accessible to visitors and offers guided tours through its buildings along with exhibits featuring documents and artifacts. It is helpful to contact ahead to learn which areas are open and how much time to allow for your visit.
A section of the complex included a village created specifically to house elderly Filipino workers who did not have family available to care for them. This reflected a distinct commitment to supporting the oldest members of the movement in their final years.
