Client: Dosan Memorial Foundation
Location: Citrus State Park, Riverside, CA
The Dosan Ahn Chang-ho Memorial Center will serve as a testament to our collective past, preserving Dosan's legacy and the spirit of early Korean American pioneers for both mainstream American society and future generations to cherish. Additionally, the center will serve as a beacon for the present and future of the Korean-American diaspora, symbolizing the ongoing journey and contributions of this vibrant community.
The City of Riverside has generously allocated 10 acres of city land for the construction of the Dosan Ahn Chang-ho Memorial Center, situated near the California State Citrus Historical Park. This location holds profound historical significance as it marks the birthplace of the first Korean-American community, known as the Pachappa Camp, which was established and led by Dosan Ahn Chang-ho.
Dosan Ahn Chang-ho epitomized the values of the first-generation Korean immigrant experience, embodying the Four Spirits of Fidelity, Action, Loyalty, and Courage throughout his exemplary life.
