After visiting the museum in McGehee, we really were interested to see the actual location of one of the internment camps. Of course it is mostly farmland now, but there are signs marking some locations. There are buttons to push at each sign with a recording of George Takei (played Sulu in Star Trek) who was interned at Rohwer as a small boy. You can see the smokestack in the distance that was once the infirmary at the camp which gives a visual for just how large the camp was. And there is a small cemetery on site also, with some neat memorials. I'm so glad that this story can be told. It gave lots of good talking points with my kids. See more..
