Celebration Park Idaho Petroglyphs
Celebration Park Ancient Graffiti!
A weekend with the cousins begs for an adventure, but with 8 kids in tow we opt for something fairly tame. Celebration Park is the perfect adventure for such a crew. It's a magical place where history, hiking, and Idaho's rugged outdoors combine for endless fun. Join us as we step back in time exploring ancient petroglyphs, and learning about Guffey Railroad bridge.
Celebration Park is known for it's amazing petroglyphs carved into the boulders around the park. Some call them art, others say it is just ancient Graffiti, but whatever it is, it's cool.

Ancient Petroglyphs in Idaho
A petroglyph is a rock carving, especially a prehistoric one. We checked out these Petroglyphs that were located at Celebration Park in Melba, Idaho which isn't more than an hour outside of Boise.
Entry to the park is $2 per vehicle. The Visitor Center, open 10:00AM to 2:00PM from April to October, provides restrooms, knowledgeable park staff, and maps for the Petroglyph Trail.
The Petroglyph Trail winds through glacial boulders, called “melon boulders.” The melon boulders are covered in a dark sheen. That sheen, when removed by carving, reveals the lighter rock underneath. And thus, a petroglyph is born. Many of Celebration Park’s petroglyphs are between 10,000 and 12,000 years old, with some as new as 400 years old.

Idaho: Minidoka Japanese Internment Camp
Minidoka National Historic Site is a National Historic Site in the western United States. It commemorates the more than 9,000 Japanese Americans who were imprisoned at the Minidoka War Relocation Center during the Second World War.
It all happened so quickly. The people of Japanese ancestry (Nikkei) on the West Coast of the United States had made lives for themselves in spite of discrimination, but on December 7, 1941, everything changed. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, panicked people believed every Japanese person could be a potential spy, ready and willing to assist in an invasion that was expected at any moment. Many political leaders, army officers, newspaper reporters, and ordinary people came to believe that everyone of Japanese ancestry, including American citizens, needed to be removed from the West Coast.
In February 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order that moved nearly 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans into 10 isolated war relocation centers in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming. These temporary, tar paper-covered barracks, the guard towers, and most of the barbed-wire fences are gone now, but the people who spent years of their lives in the centers will never forget them. This is the story of one of those centers: Minidoka
The Minidoka War Relocation Center was in operation from 1942–45 and one of ten camps at which Japanese Americans, both citizens and resident aliens, were interned during World War II.
The Minidoka irrigation project shares its name with Minidoka County. The Minidoka name was applied to the Idaho relocation center in Jerome County, probably to avoid confusion with the Jerome War Relocation Center in Jerome, Arkansas. Construction by the Morrison-Knudsen Company began in 1942 on the camp, which received 10,000 internees by years' end. Many of the internees worked as farm labor, and later on the irrigation project and the construction of Anderson Ranch Dam, northeast of Mountain Home. The Reclamation Act of 1902 had racial exclusions on labor which were strictly adhered to until Congress changed the law in 1943. Population at the Minidoka camp declined to 8,500 at the end of 1943, and to 6,950 by the end of 1944. On February 10, 1946, the vacated camp was turned over to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which used the facilities to house returning war veterans.
The Minidoka War Relocation Center consisted of 36 blocks of housing. Each block contained 12 barracks (which themselves were divided into 6 separate living areas), laundry facilities, bathrooms, and a mess hall. Recreation Halls in each block were multi-use facilities that served as both worship and education centers. Minidoka had a high school, a junior high school and two elementary schools - Huntville and Stafford. The Minidoka War Relocation Center also included two dry cleaners, four general stores, a beauty shop, two barber shops, radio and watch repair stores as well as two fire stations.
The U.S. Army opened military service to Japanese-Americans in 1943. Enlistees from Minidoka accounted for 25% of total volunteers and Minidoka suffered more casualties, male and female, than any other camp. The Minidoka Internees created an Honor Roll to acknowledge the service of their fellow Japanese-Americans. Although the original was lost after the war, the Honor Roll was recreated by the Friends of Minidoka group in 2011 following a grant from the National Park Service.
The internment camp site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 10, 1979. A national monument was established in 2001 at the site by President Bill Clinton on January 17.
