Pritchard Park is open during daylight hours. Dogs on leash are welcome in the park.
The Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial is a unit of the National Park Service Minidoka National Historic Site. During the summer the site is staffed by a NPS Ranger on weekends. The Ranger will be on duty Saturdays through the month of October, 2020. You are also welcome to enjoy the memorial at your own pace and leisure. Wayside markers provide background narrative, or visit the Bainbridge Historical Museum for additional exhibits and films on the history of Japanese Americans on Bainbridge Island.
Guided Tours:
Special arrangements can be made for a guided tour of the site for groups with interests and purposes that align with the BIJAC mission. Our small group of volunteers partner with the Bainbridge Island Historical Museum (BIHM) to conduct these tours. Facilitated Group Tours or School Group visits must be scheduled three weeks or more in advance, include no more than 24 participants, and be booked for a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.
The cost for a facilitated Group Tour or School Group visit to the BIHM is $4 per participant. For tours that extend to the Exclusion Memorial or other historical sites* on Bainbridge Island, the cost is an additional $3 per participant per venue.
* Other popular, relevant historical sites of interest include Bainbridge Gardens, Town and Country Market, Suyematsu Farm, Haiku no Niwa. If planning to visit these sites on your own, please check websites for hours and information.
