Trinity Site is the national historic landmark that’s home to mankind’s first nuclear blast on July 16, 1945, where plutonium gamma rays lit up the night sky.
A caution sign warns of radioactive materials at Trinity Site in New Mexico back in 2008.
The open house event, hosted by the US Army, is free but limited to the first 5,000 guests, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Trinity Site’s atmosphere during an open house is reminiscent of a small-town carnival from a bygone era.
And on April 6, 2024, Trinity Site again opens for a single day.
