'On the 16th of July 1945, J. Robert Oppenheimer and members of the Manhattan Project watched the first-ever nuclear test in Los Alamos, New Mexico.

With Oppenheimer's story being retold in Christopher Nolan's three-hour cinematic epic, fans of the movie and those especially interested in this period of history may want to consider the Los Alamos history tours, including a visit to the Trinity site itself...

So, what Los Alamos history tours exist, when exactly can tourists visit the Trinity site, and what are the costs involved? Here are ten things to know about Los Alamos history tours.

10. Los Alamos Historical Society Offers Several Tours

The Los Alamos Historical Society doesn't just provide occasional tours to the Trinity site but instead provides a range of history tours in Los Alamos. These tours include guided walking tours, group tours/private tours of the Los Alamos historic district, and a homestead driving tour...

9. Public Tours To The Trinity Site Are Only Available For Two Days Annually

Unfortunately, public tours to the Trinity Site are rare. The site is closed off to the public for almost the entire year, with the exception of two days. In 2023, the Los Alamos Historical Society will, again, provide its popular two-day excursion to the Trinity Site on the 21st and 22nd of October...

Note: While the coach used to take visitors to the Trinity Site has room for 56, the tour is limited to 35 passengers for the purposes of distancing and comfort. The coach is restroom-equipped.

8. The Trinity Site Public Tours Are Expensive

Trinity tours do not come cheap. Looking at prices for fall 2023, all Los Alamos Historical Society members can take part in the tour while staying in a double occupancy room for $650. Ticket prices rise to $750 per person in the case of non-members who are happy to stay in a double occupancy room.

However, members and non-members alike can pay an additional $140 to stay in a single room instead. In general, tickets include lodging, entrance fees, a guide, transportation, and two lunches.

Cost of a Member's Ticket for a Trinity Test Tour Double Occupancy Room: $650

Cost of a Non-Member's Ticket for a Trinity Test Tour Double Occupancy Room: $750

Cost of a Member's Ticket for a Trinity Test Tour Single Occupancy Room: $790

Cost of a Non-Member's Ticket for a Trinity Test Tour Single Occupancy Room: $890

7. Tourists May Want To Visit The Los Alamos History Museum & Shop

The Los Alamos Historical Society also features a historical museum & shop. As of August 2023, the Los Alamos History Museum & Shop is open from 9:00am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday, and from 10:00am to 4:00pm every Saturday.

The building was first erected in 1918 as an infirmary before a Los Alamos Ranch School guest cottage. In the years of the Manhattan Project, those being 1943 to 1947, this structure served as the guest quarters of General Leslie R. Groves. Groves was the commander of the Manhattan Engineer District at the time...

4. The Los Alamos Historical Society Offers Exhibits

The Los Alamos Historical Society provides a mix of real-world temporary exhibits and continual online exhibits.

For starters, as of fall 2023, the Rotating Exhibit Gallery in the Guest Cottage is currently exhibiting 'Opening Doors: The Oppenheimer House Past and Future'. This provides visitors with the chance to go behind the scenes of the Oppenheimer House.

Next, there is the Municipal Building Gallery which features smaller exhibits focused on Los Alamos history...

3. Lectures Take Place At Fuller Lodge

Fuller Lodge in 2132 Central Avenue has hosted monthly lectures in recent times from 7:00pm (unless otherwise stated)...

Some of the lectures that took place within the last year (as of August 2023) are 'The British Mission to Los Alamos with Alan Carr', 'In The Question Of J. Robert Oppenheimer with Bruce Held', and 'Groves and Oppenheimer: Friends And Foes? with James Kunetka'...

2. Los Alamos Historical Society Publishes A Blog

The Los Alamos Historical Society also publishes a blog that may interest Manhattan Project history buffs and fans of the Oppenheimer movie.

The society's website blog has recently featured posts such as 'Deaths in Los Alamos During the Manhattan Project,' and 'Transportation and Preparation for the Atomic Bombs.'

The former is an especially interesting and quite shocking read with deaths occurring during the project due to the handling of the Demon Core, accidental firing of a weapon, and construction-related accidents...

1. The Oppenheimer House Featured In The Movie

Much of Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer (2023) was filmed in Los Alamos and Santa Fe, along with surrounding locations in 2022. Among the historical Manhattan Project buildings to feature in the biographical epic. Of course, this is not the only standout former movie set location in the U.S. southern wilderness.

J. Robert Oppenheimer and his wife Katherine "Kitty" Oppenheimer Vissering lived and raised their family here during these historical years.

Oppenheimer House Address: Los Alamos, NM 87544, United States.'

The young prince Damian Wayne was raised to be the heir to the fearsome League of Assassins -to follow in the footsteps of his deadly mother, Talia, and the Demon's Head himself, his grandfather Ra's al Ghul. But everything changed when his father, the Batman, reclaimed him and brought him back to Gotham City. As Robin, young Damian suddenly discovered he was merely one of a number of princes, preceded in the role by his "brothers" Nightwing, Red Hood, and Red Robin...and Damian doesn't care to be merely anything. But when his father is forced to leave the city on urgent business, and a rash of abductions is accompanied by whispers of a demon stalking Gotham's dark alleys, Damian will find himself battling alongside his adoptive brothers- and in the process, learning what the mantle of Robin really means! Visionary writer/artist Juni Ba makes his mark on the timeless story of Batman and Robin, synthesizing the characters' complex history into an accessible and heartrending fairy tale!

This came crashing into me randomly on my way to breakfast

this is cursed this is so cursed

#my personal opinion on the Marvins Heather au is that either Mandy Patinkin on Malcolm Gets should play Veronica #because they're not part of the Marvin Trinity™ but have played Marvin #but also since we've learned recently that according to some weird site Lin Manuel Miranda and Malcolm Gets are the same person this tracks #can we kick colleen ballinger out though? (and possibly kill her)

nobody ever talks about how the ground turns to glass after nuclear bombs go off and I think that’s sad because it’s really cool :(

#mizu nonsense #Like when the first one went off at the Trinity site now you have pieces of trinitite there #you can’t remove them from the zone anymore because there’s plutonium in them #but I wish I had some :(
