Welcome to the Korean American National Foundation.

This place is a meaningful site where you can see the history of the Korean independence movement and immigration in the U.S. at a glance.

Founded in 1909, the Korean American National Association played a quasi-governmental role until the establishment of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, serving as the center of the Korean American community and the focal point of the independence movement.

Today, the Korean American National Foundation Memorial Hall is a space that exhibits the history of the independence movement and early immigration, a place alive with the breath of Korean Americans who dreamed of liberation. It serves as a venue for root education for second-generation Koreans and a site for historical education that awakens their identity and pride as Korean Americans.

Here, you can encounter the footsteps of many independence activists who preserved the spirit and soul of Korea on American soil 117 years ago. May your visit today be a meaningful time to remember their sacrifices and dedication, and to engrave that noble spirit of patriotism in your heart.

The Korean American National Foundation Memorial Hall is open to all Koreans and visitors. We sincerely welcome visits from people from all walks of life, students, and those coming from Korea. If you wish to visit, please call in advance, and we will provide an explanation of the history and exhibits of the Korean American National Association.
