NPS/BURGHART During World War II, the top-secret Manhattan Project sites maintained high levels of security. That legacy continues today. Nearly all of the park’s historic properties are located “behind the fence” on secure federal Department of Energy reservations. Public access is only permitted though public tours facilitated by the U.S. Department of Energy. These panoramic tours offer you a glimpse inside some of the Manhattan Project's top-secret facilities. We also offer panoramic tours of the private spaces that were so important to Manhattan Project workers, from well-known figures like J. Robert Oppenheimer to the African American workers at Hanford who were instrumental in the construction of the plutonium production facilities. |
