Weaverville Joss House State Historic Park, located at 630 Main Street in Weaverville, California, is a museum and tourist attraction that offers a fascinating look into the history of Chinese immigrants in early California. The temple, which is the oldest continuously used Chinese temple in California, showcases art objects, pictures, mining tools, and weapons used in the 1854 Tong War. Visitors can take guided tours of the Taoist temple at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The temple, built in 1874 to replace one that had burned down, became a part of the California State Park System in 1956 in an effort to preserve California's Chinese tradition.
