You can join Manhattan Project National Historical Park staff for a walk through Jackson Square on Saturday, July 1, at 10 a.m.
The program is free. It will begin in the upper parking lot of Jackson Square in front of the fountain, a press release said.
“During the program, we will discuss how routine, tradition, and the comforts of home helped keep Oak Ridge residents focused on the mission and not their hardships,” the press release said. “We will walk to the Alexander Inn Guest House and the Chapel on the Hill during the program.”
Jackson Square is located three blocks north of the Oak Ridge Turnpike on Broadway Avenue. If you need directions, maps are available at the National Park desk in the American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge or you can call (865) 576-6767.
