Heart Mountain Interpretive (Relocation) Center WY (#0568)

As I've read at other internment camps, the camps were basically rough shells when the internees arrived and it was the internees who made the camps livable and developed the farming practices that resulted in healthy food for the camps. As this placard describes, internees from interior Washington state were particularly important here in providing information to the resident Wyoming farmers and ranchers on how to be productive in cold weather climates.
