The Friends of Allensworth is the official cooperating association for Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park. We are a group of volunteers dedicated to increasing the public’s awareness of Chaplain Allen Allensworth, the town of Allensworth, and Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park.

Our mission is to support, promote, and advance the educational and interpretive activities at Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park.

We encourage  you to join us as we move forward in our endeavors to keep front and center the history of the town of Allensworth by becoming a member and or supporting Friends of Allensworth. The history of Allensworth is rich California history as well as American history. People came from near and far to live in peace and to be economically free. A place where you did not only dream of a better life but a place where that dream become reality. Friends of Allensworth sponsors four events yearly to raise money for the interpretive program at the park. Docents are available, dressed in period clothing to educate visitors regarding the history of the park. Food, arts and craft vendors, education, tours and horse and buggy rides are also available. In closing, our goal is that our legacy is that we provided awareness and education regarding Allensworth and the importance of the contributions of African Americans to California as well as America. And that the contributions of all Americans are what make America what it is today.
