Amache Special Resource Study Newsletter

The National Park Service (NPS) is conducting a Special Resource Study (SRS) of the Granada Relocation Center, commonly known as Amache. Located about a mile southwest of Granada, Colorado, Amache was one of 10 incarceration sites established during World War II under the War Relocation Authority to illegally detain Japanese Americans forcibly removed from the west coast of the United States under Executive Order 9066. A Special Resource Study applies congressionally-established criteria to evaluate the eligibility of an area for designation as a new unit of the national park system.

Topic Questions:

1. What do you value most about Amache? This can include objects, buildings, remaining features, values or stories that you believe are most important.

2. What is your vision for preserving Amache? How would you like to see the site managed? What types of activities and experiences do you want to see as part of Amache's future?

3. Do you have any ideas or concerns that the National Park Service should be aware of and/or address in the study process?

4. What do you think differentiates Amache from the other Japanese American incarceration camps and sites?

5. Do you have any other ideas or comments you would like to share with us?
