From the December 2010 Caspar (Wyoming) Star-Tribune.
The 1000 square foot museum at Heart Mountain Internment Camp was scheduled to open Agust 20, 2011. Heart Mountain is the site of one of ten War relocation Camps set up under FDR's Executive Order in 1942.
At its height, 14,000 japanese-Americans were held there.
The Heart Mountain Wyoming Interpretive Learning Center is hoping to have 500 former residents and families in attendance for the opening.
The 740-acre site was selected because of its remoteness, but yet it was still easily accesible.
It did open on the projected date.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
