About the Business
Amache National Historic Site, located at County Road 23 5/10 in Granada, Colorado, is a significant tourist attraction that serves as a reminder of a dark chapter in American history. Also known as the Granada Relocation Center, Amache was one of ten incarceration sites established during World War II to unjustly imprison Japanese Americans. Over 10,000 individuals, many of whom were American citizens, were held at Amache from 1942 to 1945.
This site is a place for reflection, recommitment, and the continued pursuit of freedom and justice. Visitors can explore the grounds, visit the nearby museum managed by the Amache Preservation Society, and connect with other National Park Service sites that share the stories of Japanese American incarceration. The Amache National Historic Site Act was signed into law by President Joseph R. Biden, solidifying its importance in preserving this important piece of history.
For more information or to plan a visit, contact the Amache National Historic Site at PO Box 44 in Granada, CO 81041.
Reviews
"A sobering visit to an important and significant reminder of our nation's institutional racism and a reminder that we must always strive to do better."
"It was windy and cool when I stopped. Easy to think about how it would have been then. Wish the building were still there"
"Interesting and sad history what the US did to the Japanese Americans in 1942. Worth a visit."
"Although I'd long since acknowledged the injustice of the WWII internment of Japanese Americans, visiting the site filled me with a solemn anger. Historical sites and artifacts like this one have the power to add emotional impact to education. They need to be preserved and regularly visited to help us understand the lessons of our past."
"Every person passing through eastern Colorado should stop here. Every parent should bring their child here. The internment of Japanese Americans remains a national disgrace. While little remains in this desolate location it had a profound impact on me. I celebrate the way Japanese internees adapted but the fact they were forcibly relocated is a stain on American history. A must see."
