Heart Mountain
by AggieDad
These two buildings were the camp hospital. Along with the camp boiler room they are the only buildings left standing at the camp. The hospital serviced over 11,000 people when the camp's population was at its peak. There is a museum exhibit that is excellent, giving a real feeling of what life was like for these people.
There were ten of these concentration camps located in the interior of the country from the "West Coast Exclusion Zone" that held about 115,000 Japanese-Americans. Before it closed Heart Mountain peaked at a population of almost 11,000, making it Wyoming's third-largest city at the time.
