| OUR MISSION: Connecting the Past to the Future The Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation, interpretation and commemoration of the site where nearly 11,000 Japanese Americans were confined during World War II. The Foundation's ongoing efforts to teach the lessons embodied by the historical site represent a collaboration between citizens of Wyoming, scholars, former internees and their descendants, and interested supporters from throughout the United States. Together, we are working to build a world-class facility that will become a center for education, policy, and research on the internment experience. |
