Manhattan Project National Historical Park tells the story about the people, events, science, and engineering that led to the creation of the Atomic Bomb, which helped end World War II. That story consists partly of a city that came to be known as Oak Ridge and over 75,000 people that lived within its limits.

For more information or directions, please contact the Manhattan Project National Historical Park at (865) 482-1942. Visitors are encouraged to visit our website for more information on the park https://www.nps.gov/mapr/oakridge.htm.
