Manzanar National Historic Site

History lovers shouldn't miss out on a trip to Manzanar, one of the most well-preserved war relocation camps of WWII. This was home to many Japanese migrants post Pearl Harbor. Today, a visit to the place can be really interesting as remains like the barracks, exhibits around the camp and various pictures taken by photographers recreate a scene of how things might have been. Though the memories that it brings back are not all pleasant, the location with the majestic Sierra-Nevada backdrop is undoubtedly breathtaking!

Knapp's Cabin

This historic, one-room cabin was built by and belonged to George Owen Knapp, a businessman who founded the Union Carbide company. It was used since 1925 by Knapp during his camping trips to the park, and also for storage. Shortly after 1928, the cabin remained inoperative for a long time until the 1950s, when the National Park Service took charge of its maintenance. Today, the cabin is a registered historic building and offers stellar views of the Kings River and the canyon from its perch atop a moraine.
