United States historic place
The Forty Acres , located in Delano , California , was the first headquarters of the United Farm Workers labor union. The union acquired the site of the compound in 1966, and the buildings were built in the ensuing years. The first building constructed on the property was a service station built in 1967, and several smaller service buildings were built soon afterward. The main building on the property, the Mission Revival styled Reuther Hall, was built from 1968 to 1969; the hall was named for United Auto Workers organizer Roy Reuther . A health care clinic and a retirement village were added to the property in the early 1970s.[2]
Background

The Forty Acres was designated a National Historic Landmark on October 6, 2008.[2] National Historical Park to commemorate the life and work of Chavez and the farm worker movement .[4] Delano, California (headquarters of the Delano grape strike ), Nuestra Senora Reina de la Paz (in Keene, Kern County, California), McDonnell Hall in San Jose , and the Santa Rita Center in Phoenix, Arizona .[4]
