Rosie the Riveter World War II / Home Front National Historical Park
Welcome to Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park. This relatively new National Park was established in 2000 and is still under development. The park staff is currently working with the City of Richmond, Contra Costa County and other park partners to preserve the historic World War II resources in Richmond. Some historic sites are open to the public, while others are only viewable from the outside.

Our Visitor Center

We recommend that you start your visit at the Visitor Education Center in the Historic Ford Building Complex in Richmond along the waterfront.
