Eastern California Museum

A vital part of the museum is its permanent exhibit displaying some of the few remaining artefacts from the Manzanar World War II Internment Center, which was "home" to about 10,000 Japanese Americans during the war. The focal point of the exhibit is a replica of a typical barracks "apartment" at Manzanar. All of the camp's buildings, which covered 36 blocks, were dismantled immediately after the end of the war. Manzanar was located between Independence and Lone Pine and although the camp-site is now a Manzanar National Historic Site, the Eastern California Museum has a substantial exhibit of photos and other artefacts from the camp on display.

For current visiting hours, please visit the website of the museum.
