Amache Internment Camp

Even though I’m a native of Colorado I never knew that there was  a WWII Japanese internment camp here.  Never was it mentioned in the Colorado History that we had to take in the 8th grade.  Now it is part of the curriculum which is good.  It is in Grenada, Colorado near the intersection of Highway 50 and 385.  There is a Museum right in town as well as the actual site which does not have many structures left.
