Time for a visit to 1939s Yakima Valley through a remarkable collection of vintage photographs that tells the story of American resilience. These images bring to life the daily struggles and quiet victories of migrant workers, drought refugees, and families who sought a better future in uncertain times.
The collection introduces us to Chris, a steadfast farmer whose dedication to working the land became a lasting legacy through his children. We follow the paths of migrant families who left Texas and other states behind, often traveling by freight train in search of work and a place to belong.

The photographs take us into Shacktown, where families made homes in simple structures without plumbing, earning what they could through WPA wages and whatever work they could find. We meet fruit pickers like the celebrated hop harvester who dreamed of more, and see moments of rest stolen between long days in the orchards.
These images reveal the untold stories of parents and children who faced drought, displacement, and hardship with unwavering spirit. Through their eyes, we witness both the harsh realities of their daily lives and the dignity with which they met each challenge.

More than just a photographic record, this collection preserves a pivotal moment in American history that speaks to us even today. It stands as a testament to those who, in the midst of the Great Depression's aftermath, held onto hope and worked tirelessly to build a better tomorrow.
Experience these powerful stories of determination, community, and the enduring human spirit in the Yakima Valley.
