Rio Vista Farm- Memories of a Bracero Center

Rio Vista Farm in Socorro, Texas may be the last standing Bracero processing center in the United States. During its time, thousands of men passed through these buildings on their way to work throughout the United States. In 2016, Rio Vista was named a National Treasure by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
