Group Photo at Rosie the Riveter Park (1/16/14)

Visitor Center for the Rosie the Riveter World War II/ Home Front National Historical Park, Richmond, CA. The Visitor Center includes a small museum. The park is spread out with a Rosie the Riveter Memorial and lots of interpretive signs along the marina. There is a tour that you can arrange in advance, lead by Betty Soskin, a 92 year old ranger. She worked in a closed union shop during WW II and has many fascinating stories about Richmond, the Rosies, integration of the workforce, and Henry J. Kaiser. You travel in a 16 person bus/van to places around the area that also were involved in ship building.
