Historic Wintersburg is the site of one of the first Japanese American churches in Orange County and remains one of the last standing. The property once included a goldfish farm, which — after years of neglect during World War II — was converted by the Furuta family to a water lily farm.
Now over 100 years old, Historic Wintersburg represents an irreplaceable part of Japanese Americans’ shared history. The conservancy is making substantial progress toward acquiring and restoring this remarkable site, and your support will help ensure its preservation for generations to come.
