Logandale, Nevada

Ozaki Migrant Dwellings / Ortiz Family Home

Year Built:

c. 1940s-1950s

After wartime incarceration, the Ozaki family, Japanese American farmers, rebuilt their lives in Nevada's Moapa Valley and provided these barracks for the Mexican and Mexican American farmworkers who sustained the harvest. The Ortiz family arrived as laborers and made them home for seventy years. Flooding, moisture, and deterioration now threaten one of the few surviving places where bracero-era farm labor history is still tangible.
