The woman at the front desk here was super nice and friendly. The museum was small but informative and easy to follow. The gift shop was not that big but had enough items to choose from. Bathrooms were clean and there was a water fill …
Museum and friendly staff pack a serious punch in a small footprint, while the gardens and outdoor area are a lovely, peaceful break from the road.

It was a gorgeous place to visit. Quiet and serene. I just wish the fountain was running at the time. But I do highly recommend and I know I will be going back
Beautiful national monument that’s part of the National Park system. The fountain area is tranquil and peaceful, the grounds are lovely, and the center is beautiful, informative and the staff friendly.
Beautiful place. Peaceful and relaxing, just listening to the water fountain was enough to lower the blood pressure! Si se puede!
It's not far off Highway 58. The visitor center has passport stamps and stickers, clean bathrooms, a museum of Cesar's life, and a memorial garden where he and his wife are buried.
A tiny national monument dedicated to life and work of Cesar Chavez. There is an interesting exhibition and his house
on the premises you can see from afar but can't go in, and a nice little garden with fountains. Overall worth a stop to learn about his fight for the rights of the farmers.
