This will be the first full summer season for the Heart Mountain Interpretive Learning Center, which opened last August near Powell and Cody in northern Wyoming. The center is situated at the site of the Heart Mountain Japanese-American Internment Camp, which housed more than 14,000 internees during World War II, making it the third-largest city in Wyoming. The center’s poignant exhibits are intended to leave visitors with a better understanding of the challenges faced by the Americans who were interned there. Heart Mountain is one of the few Japanese-American Internment Camps with ruins still standing. Contact: Steve Leger, executive director.
