Today’s NM True Tour began this morning in White Rock where the group took the County’s Atomic City Transit shuttle buses from the White Rock Visitor Center to Bandelier National Monument where they explored the park’s Main Loop Trail, archaeological sites, Alcove House and more. Following lunch, the NM True Team made a brief stop at the Bradbury Science Museum, “the public’s window to the Los Alamos National Laboratory,” its history, its mission and the innovative research and technological discoveries of today.

Next, as many visitors do, the team boarded the familiar yellow Buffalo Tours bus for a customized tour of the once “Secret City” and all the sites and locations that have become historic markers of World War II and the Manhattan Project. Born and raised in Los Alamos, tour leader Georgia Strickfaden took the team to Ashley Pond, Bathtub Row, Camp May Road Overlook, White Rock Overlook Park, Historic Fuller Lodge, the Pajarito Mountain Ski Hill and more, providing little known anecdotes and fun facts along the way.

At Fuller Lodge, the executive director of the Los Alamos Historical Museum provided a progress report on the new Manhattan Project National Historical Park. A stop in Central Park Square at the newly opened Bathtub Row Brewing Co-op – one of only a handful of co-op breweries in the country – and UnQuarked Wine Room on Main Street capped of their tour.
