A piece of WWII history not often remembered are the Japanese American internment camps that sprang up after Pearl Harbor. Fearing that Japanese Americans would side with their homeland, the government built 10 camps across the United States to confine these citizens during the war years. After the camps closed in 1945, many of the buildings were demolished or relocated. Three officers' barracks from the internment facility at Camp Amache near Granada, Colorado, were relocated here for use as apartments. One still functions for that purpose, and the other two are now a church and a fellowship hall.
