The Marysville Bok Kai Temple is in the process of creating a museum that will hold artifacts dating back to the 1800s.
Bringing almost 200 years of History back to life.
We are working with California State University of San Jose’s Department of Anthropology. Two graduate level students will be helping to identify over 250 artifacts that date as far back as the mid 1800s during the early colonization of Chinese immigrants in Marysville.
This is a project the Marysville Chinese Community has wanted to do for many years and now with the help of this internship is finally given the opportunity to do so. It is our wish that after these artifacts are identified we can begin constructing a museum, located within the Bok Kai Temple for these pieces to be showcased and viewed by the public.
