To know they touch these very same books that we were touching now was amazing.

We became quite intrigued with these pattern books. Pieces were made out of tissue or napkins. They made things to help them survive.

The old station outside the entrance...a peaceful area for relaxing after your experience in the museum

Detailed pattern books to create patterns to make clothes to sell to help them survive and for themselves.

The WWII Japanese American Internment Museum in McGehee, Arkansas, serves as a poignant reminder of the Rohwer and Jerome internment camps where over 8,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated during World War II. Through exhibits and educational programs, the museum aims to preserve and share the important stories of those who experienced this dark chapter in American history.

In addition to its historical displays, the museum offers resources for research on individuals interned at the camps, including access to databases and collections that provide comprehensive information. The museum also hosts workshops and tours, fostering a deeper understanding of the impact of internment on Japanese American communities.
