Manzanar National Historic Site
Independence, California | 186 miles
Following Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, former president Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered the confinement of Japanese Americans in internment camps without due process. This lamentable decision exacted great physical, psychological, and financial costs on internees. One of the best preserved of ten such camps is Manzanar National Historic Site, where about 10,000 Japanese Americans were unjustly detained in these so-called “War Relocation Centers.”
