The Manhattan Project National Historical Park is a significant destination that commemorates the transformative events of the 20th century, particularly the development of the world's first atomic bombs. With three secret communities spread across the United States, visitors can explore the secret factory in Hanford, Washington, the covert lab in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and the hidden complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where plutonium was made, atomic bombs were built, and uranium was enriched.
Immerse yourself in the history of the Manhattan Project through its people, places, culture, and events, including the controversial legacy of J. Robert Oppenheimer. Reflect and remember the historical traumas of the atomic bombings, and plan your visit using the NPS Mobile App, which provides interactive maps, tours, and accessibility information for a comprehensive Manhattan Project experience.
