A special note for those with a personal or family connection to Amache  

If you or a family member were incarcerated at Amache and you want to find your family barracks, check this online directory. On site, individual barracks are not marked and finding a specific room can be challenging. To ensure that you can find them, reach out to park staff before your visit or plan your trip during a planned community event.
