Visitor Centers

Start with one of our three visitor centers

There’s an abundance of places to visit because there are three communities to choose from. The Manhattan Project National Historical Park operates in the three primary locations of Manhattan Project: Hanford, Washington; Los Alamos, New Mexico; and Oak Ridge, Tennessee. At each site we have a visitor center where you can start your journey:
