The National Park Service and the Department of Energy have released a short introductory video on the Manhattan Project National Historical Park. The video features David Klaus, DOE Deputy Under Secretary for Management and Performance, and Jonathan Jarvis, Director of the National Park Service.
Klaus and Jarvis highlight the sites that will be included in the park and explain how excited both NPS and DOE are to move forward together to open the park, and the significance of the Manhattan Project and the park for today. The video also features an assortment of historic photos from the Manhattan Project.
As part of its centennial campaign, NPS and the National Park Foundation have launched Find Your Park, encouraging Americans to visit national parks and historic sites around the country. It is an exciting time to become part of the National Park system!
