Exhibits: Trinity & Legacy

Back to Exhibit Floor Plan

It is said that the dawn of the Atomic Age happened with the testing of the world’s first atomic bomb.  This exhibit will show visitors just how much influence over the modern world this test created.  Trinity may be miles into the desert, but the world became a different place after July 16, 1945. 

Exhibition and Components: Imagine the pressure and sense of import felt by the Project scientists as they prepared to test the “gadget” at the secret Trinity site in New Mexico. This exhibit features a re-creation of the Trinity Tower used in the test, the McDonald-Schmitt Ranch House and two unique automobiles that played a role in the actual test.

Square Footage and Location: Part of 2500 square feet of exhibit space.  Located in the Historical section of the Museum.

Donation Amounts:  Any amount contributed towards this exhibit will be greatly appreciated.  

I am ready to make a donation.
