Family Friendly This Historical Site is easy to navigate, and is also a good place to teach the whole family about Japanese Internment.

Description

This trail starts at an old guardhouse/tower and circles the perimeter of the compound highlighting the misery that was inflicted on American citizens of the wrong nationality, and the amount of grit the interns had in building their own little community in such a short time.
