Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Chinese American Historical Museum is a nonprofit museum and organization housed within the historic Ng Shing Gung, or Temple of the Five Gods, which was originally constructed within San José's Heinlenville Chinatown and transferred to the city's History Park in 1991. The museum is overseen by the Chinese Historical and Cultural Project, which was originally founded in 1987 by Gerrye Wong and Lillian Gong-Guy to preserve and promote Chinese-American heritage throughout San José and the country. The reconstructed temple, which formerly served as a community center and hostel, now houses exhibits related to the history of Chinese Americans within the Santa Clara Valley, including the temple's original gold-gilded altar and five gods statues, constructed in 1888.
