So Tra historical site

So Tra historical site

Right on the campus of Regiment 726, Quang Truc commune, Tuy Duc district (Dak Nong), there is an old, white house, built in French architectural style. According to experts, this place was formerly the site of So Tea built by the French in Dak Nong. Around the 30s of the twentieth century, French colonialists entered the Central Highlands to open plantations, grow crops such as coffee and tea and hire ethnic minority workers. In 1962, the Plantation at that time was about 20 hectares large and there were about 80 workers working here. Among them, there are about 40 ethnic minorities working at the plantation. In particular, there were 12 political prisoners arrested to work here. Workers working at the plantation are paid 30 VND/month. There are people who don't take money and will exchange it for rice or salt. At the end of the year, you will be rewarded with beef. One day, workers at the tea plantation work from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and are given food and rest at noon. Around 1966, the plantation was dissolved. Through surveys, the historical site of So Tra was preserved quite intact with a structure built with reinforced concrete structures, following the French architectural style of the early 20th century. Currently, there are no specific documents about the process of building the house on which date, month or year. The area of ​​the house is about 200m². The house is almost intact with 1 ground floor, 1 floor and 1 mezzanine. Inside the house there are 8 rooms and a fireplace built from the ground floor to the first floor and mezzanine for warmth when it's cold. Behind the room on the ground floor there is a secret escape hatch, but the mouth of the tunnel is covered. Up to now, although managed by Regiment 726, this secret tunnel has not been discovered. Near the construction area there are a number of fruit trees and ancient tea trees that, according to local people, are about 100 years old. Among them, 2 tamarind trees have been recognized as Vietnamese heritage trees in September 2022. So Tra historical site is recognized as a provincial historical site.
