Keene occupies a rural stretch of the Tehachapi Mountains in Kern County, California, near Tehachapi Pass, the historic route between the San Joaquin Valley and the Mojave Desert. Dry, oak-dotted slopes and open ranch country give this small community a distinctly inland character, far from California’s coastal cities. Keene is best known for the César E. Chávez National Monument at La Paz, the former headquarters of the United Farm Workers and the site of Chávez’s grave. The monument commemorates a key figure in the movement for farmworkers’ rights.
