The Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial is an outdoor exhibit built to acknowledge and remember the internment of the Japanese American residents of Bainbridge Island. Japanese immigrants settled on Bainbridge Island in the late 1800s and were integral to the operation of sawmills and strawberry farms in the area. 227 Japanese American residents were forced to leave the island during World War II. Most of them were sent to internment camps in Manzanar, CA. The memorial has a cedar wall with the names of all of those incarcerated. The wall is also decorated with friezes that depict scenes of the events surrounding internment.
