Payette National Forest archaeologists will share the history of Chinese in the Warren area around the turn of the 19th century. Historical information sourced from archival research and archaeological finds will be discussed. A small collection of artifacts will be on display.

The Payette National Forest Heritage Program’s team of archaeologists includes Morgan Zedalis (PhD), Molly Eimers, Samantha Westendorf (MA), Stefani Patten, Michelle Platt, Sloan Dickson, and Holly Coleman (MA). The Heritage Program staff have an enthusiasm for sharing cultural information about the Payette National Forest, and members of the team have worked on projects to increase awareness of the Chinese presence in Warren and their contribution to Idaho history.

Talks are held at the Central Idaho Historical Museum’s Carpenter Shop. Learn more on the McCall Arts and Humanities Council Website
