     The Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge, of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
     Service, encompasses the site of a German and Italian POW camp.
     Several buildings still stand on the property.  The camp was
     originally built for use by the Civilian Conservation Corps.  Nearby,
     but off the refuge, is the site of the Tulelake Japanese internment
     camp.

     There is an area in the vicinity (on National Park Service Land) where
     petroglyphs can be found.  Amongst the prehistoric carvings are a few
     Japanese names.  The story is they represent a few escapees from the
     Tulelake Camp.

     The Fish and Wildlife Service has very limited information on the site
     as an internment center.  However the Klamath County Museum in the
     nearby town of Lakeview, Oregon, has a small display on the subject.
     The address is: Klamath County Museum, 1415 Main, Klamath Falls,
     Oregon 97601.  (503) 883-4208.
