Amache
Officially known as the Granada Relocation Center, Camp Amache was an internment site for Japanese-Americans during WWII. The first evacuees arrived from California in August, 1942, and 3 months later the population reached 7,300, making it the tenth largest city in Colorado.
The barracks, water tower and guard tower seen here are modern reproductions. None of the original structures were meant to be permanent, though the original concrete pads on which they were built remain. Amache was closed in October, 1945.
