The Amache Preservation Society is a group of students at Granada High School in southeast Colorado, close to the Kansas border. John Hopper, a teacher at the school (and a true hero), helped form the Society from a class he taught, where students volunteered to restore the site of the WWII concentration camp where Japanese Americans were interned. They’ve done incredible great work, and now they have a very well-done website about Amache and the museum they’ve built.
