Review:
The Manhattan Project National Historical Park is a United States National Historical Park that celebrates the secret World War II Manhattan Project program which led to the creation of the atomic bomb. Jointly managed by the National Park Service and Department of Energy, the Manhattan Project National Historical Park features three separate sites, namely in Tennessee, New Mexico, and Washington, each of which preserves this significant time in history. Located on the Columbia River, the project produced large quantities of plutonium for atomic bombs, which were designed and built in Los Alamos. Tennessee’s Oak Ridge Reservation was the headquarters for the Manhattan Project and a center for plutonium production and uranium enrichment. Today, tours are offered between April and September but require registration and reservations.
