History

Japanese-American and POW internment camp of WWII, Tulelake, California. POWs were Italian & German. Educational tours are arranged by appointment. This is a National Historic Site and maintained as a memorial, not so much as a tourist attraction. There were actually two separate camps, this one near Tulelake and a higher-security one at Newell, a few miles southeast. The Newell camp became the largest Japanese-American internment camp in the United States. Read about the camp here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulelake_camp
