English: Manzanar War Relocation Center was an American concentration camp where Japanese Americans were imprisoned during World War II in Owens Valley, California.
Manzanar today has two original buildings: the guard gate and the auditorium which has been converted to an Interpretive Center by the NPS.
The locations of key facilities are marked.

Among just four structures that remained after the concentration camp was closed, two sentry posts are located at the main entrance to the Manzanar National Historic Site. Designed and built by Manzanar internee Ryozo Kado, a stonemason, the Manzanar Internal Police post is in the foreground, while the Military Police post stands in the background. Both have been historically restored by the National Park Service
