What a hidden treasure this is. We stopped in because we read about the museum while in town and ended up spending two and a half hours there. The introductory film is outstanding. While I knew that this terrible injustice occurred, I mistakenly thought that the camps were all in the west and north. There were two in Arkansas and this little town has done a great job of telling the story of those Japanese Americans who were forced to leave their homes in California and move inland to what amounted to concentration camps. There are many original artifacts that have been donated by people who were in the camps. Bravo to this community for telling this story and having it serve as a warning about the way we perceive those who differ from us. The woman who served as the guide was both knowledgeable and passionate.

This is a very well done museum, and well worth a visit. It's a bit hard to find, but is well worth the effort. The exhibits are very well done, and the curators have really done their homework to put the Arkansas camps, and the whole internment process, in context.Interestingly the location of the museum offers additional comment, as the town and the region remain underdeveloped. This is definitely a museum you should visit.

This museum has a wonderful exhibit that tells a very interesting part of Arkansas history. I visited for the first time on 4/16 as they celebrated their first anniversary, and was very impressed.

While traveling through the Mississippi River Delta region of Arkansas we ran across the Japanese Internment Museum in McGehee. It is a little out of the way and is housed in the old railroad station building. The building itself was redone and is kind of a museum in its own right. It is free admission but donations are gladly welcomed. The displays show life of the inmates before they were brought here and the hard crowded trip by train to this desolate farming land. Other displays show photos and drawings of life in the camp. Many personal items that were left are on display, again showing the life of the camp. The displays are clean and well lit. The museum was very interesting and I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in WWII history on in American history in general.
