Located in downtown Stockton, in the historic Newberry building, the National FANHS Museum showcases the contributions that Filipino Americans have made to the United States. Their first recorded landing in 1587 at Morro Bay, California, begins a long legacy in this country.
Our city of Stockton was chosen as the site for the Filipino American National Historical Society Museum (aka FANHS Museum) in 1994 because of Stockton's significance in Filipino American history from the 1920s to the 1960s.
Now is your chance to learn and view that history. The FANHS Museum had its Grand Opening on October 29, 2016, after twenty years of planning and fundraising. Our start-up space is small, but it packs a lot of information. The dream is now alive!
