During World War II, Executive Order 9066, signed by President Roosevelt, allowed nearly 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry to be incarcerated in desolate sites in the interior of the US.

The Granada Relocation Center—better known as Amache, housed over 10,000 American citizens in a one-mile square facility surrounded by barbed wire and guard towers. Amache’s silk screen shop provided work for the residents and produced over 250,000 posters. Residents fostered wellness through gardening as evidenced in the archaeological record discovered by University of Denver’s field school in 2008.

The Museum will present historical information and objects about these topics. https://www.thelovelandmuseum.org/living-at-amache/
