Minidoka National Historic Site is a developing national park unit. The historic site, near Jerome, Idaho, is open year-round from sunrise to sunset for a self-guided tour on a 1.6 mile trail. A temporary visitor contact station is located at the Herrmann House.

Fall hours are Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 5pm from September 6th - October 29th, 2019.

Visiting Minidoka Today
This remote area teemed with thousands of men, women, and children between 1942 and 1945. As you visit Minidoka, listen for their voices. Perhaps you will hear echoes of people and events in your own life. Look in the distance to the enduring legacy of the still-active farms. Exhibits along the 1.6-mile trail identify the historic structures and landscape, describe daily life, and explain how the center operated.
