Historical Museum gets $533,000 for Japanese Internment Sites
The Historical Museum at Fort Missoula has received a 2021 Japanese American Confinement grant for $533,000 to obtain and restore two buildings that once housed Japanese Americans during World War II.
Executive Director Matt Lautzenheizer said the museum has been able to obtain not just one, but two such buildings.
“Over the last few years, we ve actually been able to acquire two original interment barracks that were used at Fort Missoula during World War II,” said Lautzenheiser. “One of those was at the DNRC (Department of Natural Resources and Conservation) on Spurgin Road and that was an original barrack and then the other one was originally at the Fort, but it was moved to the Missoula County Fairgrounds.”
