Los Alamos Historical Museum

The Guest House for the Los Alamos Ranch School was turned into a Guest House for visiting scientists for the Manhattan Project. It is now the Los Alamos County Historical Museum. At the counter a basket of red hots are for sale (irony or intention?).
The trip through the 7-8 small rooms will give you whiplash, as you go through millions of years of history; from the original geological formation of the mesa, to the settlement of the Pueblo village, and then to the Ranch School for boys, the Manhattan Project to develop the Atomic Bomb, and the final destruction of the 2 Japanese Cities that ended World War II.
