Did you know that you can get a free bus to visit the Manzanar National Historic Site? Well you can!
In 1942, the United States government ordered more that 110, 000 men, woman, and children to leave their homes and detained them in remote, military-style camps. One of those camps was called Manzanar. It was also called a War relocation center. Manzanar was just one of the ten camps where Japanese aliens were interned during World War Two.
This place has been esbablished as a National Historic site in 1992. Upon visiting Manzanar one will learn of the Owens Valley Paiut life, the Japanese homesteading era, and the fruit-growing community of Manzanar.
Manzanar is located in Inyo County, California. Between the towns of Independence and Lone Pine along U.S. Highway 395. The site is 225 miles north of Los Angeles and 240 miles south of Reno.
