The Chinese American Historical Museum (CAHM) is housed in the Ng Shing Gung building, which is part of History Park, located in Kelley Park, San Jose.

The museum will be open Saturday June 8th from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm during the Dia De Portugal Festival. The Dia de Portugal Festival is from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Admission: Free

Enjoy a day of entertainment, savor a variety of Portuguese foods and watch a traditional Portuguese parade – there’s enjoyment for the entire family. It all takes place at History Park, location of both the Portuguese Historical Museum and the Chinese American Historical Museum.

Many of us may not be aware of the joint histories of the Portuguese and the Chinese:

• The name Canton originally came from a Portuguese language rendering of Guangzhou.
• The Portuguese Historical Museum has a permanent Macao Exhibit.
