Oak Ridge, Tennessee: Manhattan Project National Historical Park will hold a ranger program, Secrecy, Security and Spies, at the Oak Ridge Turnpike Checking Station (2900 Oak Ridge Turnpike, Oak Ridge, TN 37830) on Saturday, August 17th from 11AM to 12PM ET. Dive into the history of America's Secret City and learn how wartime security affected the lives of the 80,000 war workers of the Clinton Engineer Works, along with the few who tried to subvert this secret project.

Unable to attend? The park is offering other ranger led opportunities throughout the month:
