  • Chinatown Aftershock Treasure Hunt
    Tuesday, April 11, 2006

    Kids Hunt for Clues to the Rebirth of Chinatown After the 1906 Earthquake


    Over 200 elementary and middle school students attending schools in Chinatown and North Beach will go on a community treasure hunt to learn how the community survived two calamities: the 1906 earthquake itself and subsequent efforts to relocate the Chinese population to swampland at the outskirts of the City.

    The Chinatown Aftershock Treasure Hunt will take the kids through several social service agencies, hunting for clues about life in Chinatown a century ago. Through this, the students will gain a greater sense of the community’s resilient history and learn about the wide array of services available to their families. Then they will tour the Chinese Historical Society of America Museum to view the new exhibit “Since the Quake: The Rebirth of San Francisco Chinatown 1906-2006.”
