Amache Internment Camp Becomes National Historic Site

Granada, Colorado - The Amache Museum, near the World War II Amache Japanese internment camp in southeast Colorado. The camp became part of the National Park Service as President Joe Biden signed a law making Amache a National Historic Site on March 18, 2022. More than 7,000 Japanese and Japanese-Americans were held at the site, one of 10 internment camps in the American west. Though all the buildings were demolished after the war, many foundations remain.
