Bradbury Museum of Science, Los Alamos, New Mexico




The Bradbury Museum of Science focuses on the Manhattan Project. This was a secretive project during World War II to develop an atomic bomb. The town of Los Alamos was created for the sole purpose of housing engineers and their families. It was so secret that that the only mail drop to this town was at a post office box number. Currently there is a population of 18,000 in Los Alamos, with 4000 having PHD's. WOW! The town's current purpose is to research peaceful uses of nuclear energy and research for homeland security. Of special note is that in using our GPS in this area, many items were not able to be retrieved.
