  • Welcome to San Francisco!
    Welcome to San Francisco! I can’t wait to share my city’s history with you. Dive deeper into the history of the Julie: An American Girl books with this tour of San Francisco. Julie Albright grew up in 1970s San Francisco and joins in the city's long history of environmental and human rights activism. She also learns about the importance of culture and diversity with Ivy, her Chinese American friend. Learn more about these topics by exploring San Francisco through Julie's eyes and experiences. The tour should take between two and four hours, depending on how long you spend at each stop. Three of the stops include visits to a museum and the Hetch Hetchy stop requires an alternate location. #JulieSFTour History Pin: http://bit.ly/juliesftour Google Maps Route: https://goo.gl/maps/JPw9soUj3x41UaPR9 STOP 1: Establishing A Home Away From Home Dragon’s Gate, Bush St & Grant Ave Julie's best friend Ivy is Chinese-American and shares with Julie her Chinese heritage. San Francisco's Chinatown is the oldest Chinatown in the United States and is home to one of the largest Chinese populations outside of Asia. Chinese immigrants first arrived in San Francisco in 1848 in pursuit of gold and work during California's Gold Rush. Although few people found gold, a Chinese community formed around Portsmouth Square as a home away from home for Chinese immigrants and as an escape from discrimination. Chinese immigrants established churches, schools, and businesses, and Chinatown acted as a city within a city. Despite facing discrimination and anti-Chinese laws, Chinatown and its residents persevered and fought to maintain their community and culture in San Francisco.
