    This is a heart-breaking place. The largest of the 10 concentration camps in the US during World War 2. it was approximately 7000 acres and held nearly 20,000 Japanese-Americans that broke no laws but answered "incorrectly" on a skewed questionnaire.

    Fascinating and well built out road side museuem. A must see for those passing through. It shines a spotlight on a dark side of the nation's history and xenophobia that echoes through to the present. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.

    I am a history buff. I especially have a tremendous desire to learn about the history of the parents of friends of mine, friends of my parents and in an indirect way part of the past that even to this day affects me. While there is not much there to help envision what it was like 75 years ago, it is up to you to feel the power of standing where 18,000+ Japanese Americans were incarcerated behind barbwire.

    This was an intense experience. The tour guide was amazing and hearing the stories and emotions of the survivors and their families was truly humbling. We must preserve these places to never forget what happened.

    The tour was very informative and they had pictures and letters and experiences for us to look at. The jail is preserved. The museum had original artifacts and a barrack to look at!

    A place that reminds all of us of the atrocities that happened to American citizens in WWII. Very powerful to see the expansive land where 18,000 civilians were jailed only for their ancestry. There's only a plaque right now, but the jail is being restored currently and a visitors center planned for the future.

    Simple memorial to an important moment in our history. Remember what really happened to fellow citizens. No, you can not clean this page from our past. Visit Manzinar south of Bishop, CA for a detailed look at this time.

    NPS should erect a small visitor center and museum as Tule Lake was the worst of the worst for Japanese Interment Camps. A roadside plaque from the state does not do it justice.

    What a learning experience. ANNA the tour guide was an intern from the East Coast. Did an amazing job explaining in detail what happened. She also answered several questions. Very knowledgeable.
