Visit the historical Rossi Plantation site.

Established in 1926 by the French, Rossi Plantation (Tran Hung Dao Street, Dat Hieu Ward, Buon Ho Town) was a plantation that combined coffee and rubber cultivation. It was one of several plantations established by the French to serve their exploitation of colonies in Indochina and Vietnam.

During the two wars of resistance against French colonialism and American imperialism, under the leadership of the Party, the workers of Rossi Plantation, along with workers of other plantations in Dak Lak, bravely fought against the brutal oppression and exploitation of colonial capitalism, winning independence and seizing power.

Here, the revolutionary forces established connections and met with ethnic minority workers who had revolutionary awareness to build a revolutionary base within the plantation; at the same time, through the workers, they contacted the plantation owners to mobilize them to contribute food and supplies to feed the troops; they also established connections with security forces in the H4 area to conceal the supply of food, medicine, and ammunition to the revolution. In return, the revolutionary forces ensured that the Rossi Plantation could operate normally on land under revolutionary control; news of American-puppet regime raids on the plantation area was reported in advance to the plantation owners so they could prepare, preventing workers from traveling to areas of conflict, avoiding casualties and conscription...

Thus, Rossi Plantation is a place that commemorates and honors the contributions of generations of plantation workers, for they transformed a colonial plantation into a solid base for the revolution. These workers overcame all difficulties and hardships, fought a tenacious and indomitable revolutionary struggle, united the people, resolutely fought the enemy, held firm to every inch of land, every rubber plantation and coffee field, and protected the achievements of the revolution to win independence.
