Redman Hirahara Farmstead, Historic farmstead in Watsonville, United States
The Victorian farmhouse stands on 14 acres of agricultural land along Highway 1 in California's Pajaro Valley, featuring oak and maple interior finishes.
Built in 1897 by architect William H. Weeks for James Redman, the property was later purchased by the Hirahara family in the 1930s.
The property became a shelter for multiple Japanese families returning from internment camps after World War II, supporting their reintegration into society.
The farmland currently produces organic crops throughout the year while preservation efforts continue to maintain the historical structures on the property.
Local citizens, including attorney John McCarthy, protected the property rights during World War II when the Hirahara family faced internment.
