Oral
History:
The
Florin Oral History Project was initiated to preserve the unique
history of Florin which was once a thriving farming community
with a large Japanese population. Over 70 volumes have been
completed representing a cross-section of the Florin and
Sacramento communities, including those in various occupations,
war veterans, draft resisters, minors in the prisoner of war
exchanges, etc. For more information, click
