The Latino exhibition, "Our Journey," is the second in a series of exhibitions at the museum highlighting the various cultures comprising West Sacramento. This new display will explore and honor the richness of the Latino community in West Sacramento by identifying Latino families, individuals, social organizations and businesses that help define our community. "Why did Latino's settle in West Sacramento?" "Did they immigrate from Mexico and Central America or did they immigrate from other states during the Dust Bowl and Great Depression periods?" "How many generations of families remain here?"
