| Driving back north, we move from turn of the 20th century Old West to mid-century World War II history and the Heart Mountain World War II National Historic Landmark Site. |
 |
| There is not much remaining of the original relocation site. There is an interpretive center. |
 |
| There was a special exhibit featuring some of the bands that the internees formed. This was George Kurasaki's trombone. He was 23 when he was forced to the camp from his family's prune farm in Cupertino, California. Though he could only pack what he could carry, he brought his instrument and joined the George Igawa Orchestra soon after his arrival. |
 |
| And this is Frank Hirahara's trumpet. Frank was born in Yakima, Washington where his parents owned the Pacific Hotel. At 16, he also joined the George Igawa Orchestra. |
 |
| Speaking of the George Igawa Orchestra, here they are at a performance in Lovell, Wyoming. George Kurazaki is standing on the left in the back row and Frank Hirahara is standing next to him. Despite being forced to live in an internment camp, the band traveled to performances around the area. |
 |
| Let's not forget about the mandolin band. |
 |
 This is what the camp looked like when it existed during the war. That is Heart Mountain in the background. At the time, the interment camp was the third largest town in Wyoming. |
|
| This is what the housing looked like shortly after the camp was constructed. The internees from the Pacific Coast states were not prepared for the harsh winters of the mountains of Wyoming. |
 |
| Over the years, the internees improved things a bit to make them look a bit more like a home. |
 |
| One of the guard posts that surrounded the camp. While the residents of the camp were Americans, they weren't exactly free anymore. |
 |
| I don't know what this building is. It looks like a barracks building or a reconstruction. |
 |
| The boiler house chimney and some nearby old structures. |
 |
| Somewhere in that direction was the old pool |
 |
| That white thing out there is a remnant of the foundation of old high school. The camp's school was actually one of the best in the state. |
