The Topaz Museum in Delta, Utah, is dedicated to preserving the nearby Topaz incarceration site and its World War II history. Their mission is to interpret the impact of Topaz on Japanese Americans who were confined there and educate people to prevent similar injustices from happening again.

Located 16 miles northwest of Delta, Topaz was one of the ten War Relocation Authority confinement sites, with a peak population of 8,100 during its operation from 1942 to 1945. The museum encourages visitors to explore the site responsibly, respecting the history and artifacts that serve as a reminder of the civil rights violations endured by Japanese Americans during WWII.

"I really don't know what to say. There's a LOT of rock samples of different times from the area. There's a lot of stuff that must be there because it's various levels of old. It does remind me..."
