Grand Opening of Museum to Preserve Decades of Chinese History – In the Delta Region officials from Sacramento County, Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA), Isleton Brannan-Andrus Historical Society (IBAHS), and the California Cultural Historical Endowment (CCHE) will celebrate the completion of a multiphase project that opens the doors to a Chinese cultural museum in the renovated historic Bing Kong Tong in the heart of Isleton at the Bing Kong Tong building, 29 Main Street, Isleton.

After a recently completed major renovation that began in 2012, the Bing Kong Tong building now serves as a new museum and community space for the City of Isleton to preserve and enhance the Chinese cultural significance of both the architecture and the city’s historic district. Designated a historic structure rebuilt after a fire in 1926, the Bing Kong Tong building represents a significant example of Chinese American architecture, as well as a tangible connection to the town’s cultural heritage. The “tong” or meeting hall served as a community center organized under a benevolent society which operated a Chinese language school and offered the local Chinese Americans social services and a place to gather. Eventually displaced by Federal immigration laws that excluded Chinese from entering the United States, the town’s Chinese population dwindled from 1,500 to a very small number of residents today. Vacant since the 1940’s, the building fell into a severe state of disrepair. With the support of federal funding, endowments, and other contributions, the Tong Building underwent a significant reconstruction effort which included creation of the museum and preservation of Chinese artifacts.
