Poston Restoration Project is actively working to preserve the physical artifacts as well as the stories and memories of life in the Poston camps and on the Colorado River Indian Reservation during World War II. We want to emphasize the significant links and relationships between the Japanese American detainees and the Colorado River Indian Tribes.
Develop and create a multicultural village that explores and generates the living histories of the Poston Internment Camps, the Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT), and other American Indian experiences with personal stories, artifacts, photographs and research.
Restore the Poston Camp I school auditorium, classrooms and barracks as living museums to exhibit the personal stories and archival items for visitors and researchers.
Attract cultural tourists through educational programs, entertainment, lodging and restaurants.
Establish partnerships with educational institutions with state and national supporters.
