National Park Service Issues Grants To World War II Internment Camp Sites

We usually think of the National Park Service as being in charge of campsites, not camp sites. As part of its mandate to preserve and protect sites of historical and cultural significance, the NPS’s Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant Program has awarded $3,895,000 in federal funds to private nonprofit organizations; educational institutions,and; state, local, and tribal governments to preserve and provide interpretation resources to the 10 relocation camps scattered in the West.
