  Museum\, on the grounds of the Fullerton Arboretum at California State Un
 iversity\, Fullerton\, highlights Orange County’s agrarian roots and the
  contributions made by pioneering farmers\, including those in the Japanes
 e American community. \nThis opening exhibit\, Sowing Dreams\, Cultivating
  Lives:  Nikkei Farmers in Pre-World War II Orange County\, interprets the
  experiences of the Japanese American farmers who settled and lived in Ora
 nge County in the years leading up to their relocation and internment in t
 he spring of 1942.  Based on the collection of oral histories and photogra
 phs held at CSUF’s Center for Oral and Public History\, the exhibit cove
 rs immigration\, family life\, social organizations\, and farming.  \n\nTh
 e museum will also feature an original art work by New York artist Mike Sa
 ijo based on local photographs and writings in Echo from the pre-war perio
 d.  The work will measure seven feet tall by ten feet wide and reflects th
 e sense of community spirit of the Japanese American farmers.\nThis exhibi
 t owes much to the cooperation of several departments from across the Cali
 fornia State University\, Fullerton campus.  From Visual Arts to Anthropol
 ogy\, from History to Biology\, professors\, staff\, and students have con
 tributed time\, effort\, and skills to design\, develop\, and create the e
 xhibition concepts and structures.  Moreover\, the volunteers who devoted 
 countless hours building creative displays\, and the generosity of people 
 in the community who provided advice\, artifacts\, and personal items\, al
 l contributed to the realization of this project.\nSowing Dreams\, Cultiva
 ting Lives:  Nikkei Farmers in Pre-World War II Orange County will journey
  with the early Japanese immigrants to California\, and follows their stor
 ies as they established permanent communities in Orange County\, by marryi
 ng\, raising families\, founding schools and social groups\, farming\, and
  above all\, cultivating their new lives.\n\nCurator\, Stephanie George	\n
