Amache Museum

Housed in the old Granada Town Hall, the Amache Museum displays artifacts from Camp Amache, a World War II Japanese internment camp that imprisoned nearly 7,500 Americans of Japanese descent between 27 August 1942 and 15 October 1945. The 160-acre camp, also known as the Granada War Relocation Center, included a 10,000 acre farm for raising livestock and produce. Since 1990, the Amache Preservation Society, a Granada high school group, has worked on the preservation of the site and its documents and set up the museum as a school project. Former internees share their experiences through videotaped interviews included in the collection.
