Bartell's Backroads - California's Oldest Chinese Temple Author: John Bartell WEAVERVILLE, Calif. In a remote mountain town in Trinity County is a vast collec...tion of Chinese artifacts that are rare, even to the people of China. The Weaverville Joss House is the oldest continually-operating Chinese temple in California. Joss House opened its doors in 1874. State park historian Jack Frost says the word "Joss" is a name the Portuguese gave Chinese Taoist temples. California has many historic Joss Houses, but what makes the Weaverville Joss house the oldest temple is shipping records found on the shrine. "It was made in Canton, China and shipped to San Francisco in 1873. Brought up the Sacramento River by riverboat," said Frost.
