Trinity Site is the location in New Mexico where the first atomic bomb was detonated on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project. Today, the site is open to the public twice a year, on the first Saturdays of April and October.
Visitors to Trinity Site can view the ground zero marker, which denotes the exact spot where the bomb was detonated, as well as a small museum and displays with information about the history and impact of the atomic bomb. Visitors can also take a short walk to the base of the steel tower that held the bomb, which is still partially standing.
While the site itself is relatively small, the impact of the events that took place there is significant. A visit to Trinity Site provides a unique opportunity to reflect on the devastating power of nuclear weapons and the importance of working towards peace and disarmament.
