The K-25 History Center will take you on a fascinating journey behind the scenes of one of America’s most secret wartime operations. This is where the country was striving to beat Nazi Germany in the construction of an atomic bomb, which was intended to put an end to World War II.

Known as the Manhattan Project, men and women secretly toiled to build the first uranium enrichment complex – at the time, most of them has no idea what they were working on. The enormous facility covers over 7,500 square feet and features several interactive exhibits as well as thousands of authentic artifacts.
