Learn of the Dark History of CV's Secret WWII Detention Camp

The Historical Society of the Crescenta Valley's Oct. 21 meeting will focus on the Tuna Canyon Detention Center, according to a recent post on Montrose-La Crescenta Patch. 

Sunland-Tujunga historian Lloyd Hitt "will show newly found photos of the camp during wartime, and talk about the site's past, its present, and its controversial future as a historic landmark," according to the board post. 

The camp, which was located where the Verdugo Hills Golf Course now stands, has been a hot topic lately as the area was recently named a historic-cultural monument by the city of Los Angeles.
