The Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation received a $224,892 Project Grant award from the Department of the Interior National Park Service under the Preservation of Japanese American Confinement Sites program (CFDA 15.933). The grant will support the creation and installation of a permanent exhibit at the Mineta-Simpson Institute at Heart Mountain, highlighting the decades-long friendship between former Congressmen Norman Y. Mineta and Alan K. Simpson, who first met as Boy Scouts at the Heart Mountain incarceration camp during World War II. The exhibit will convey how the two leaders transcended cultural and political differences, with the goal of empowering visitors to engage in their own civic dialogues. The funding will cover the design, fabrication, and installation of interpretive panels, artifacts, and multimedia displays for the exhibit, which is expected to be completed by November 1, 2025.
