Overview

Documenting the history of the Pajarito Plateau, with special emphasis on the Manhatten Project, this small museum displays Anasazi ax heads, needles, potsherds, and arrowheads, as well as various items from the days Los Alamos was the "Secret City".

Included are memos to and from Oppenheimer, photos of atomic testing and post-bomb Nagasaki, and copies of leaflets the United States dropped, warning the Japanese about the bomb. In addition, a small but well-stocked bookstore carries a variety of literature about Los Alamos and the Southwest, including maps of self-guided walking tours of town.
