A Special Fundraising Tour of Los Alamos

August 19, 2018

Given the excitement around this summer's production of Doctor Atomic at the Santa Fe Opera, we thought it would be engaging to host a tour of the location where the real Doctor Atomic, J. Robert Oppenheimer, established the world's most focused physics lab in the 1940s. 

ABOUT THE TOUR: 
Los Alamos today is best known as the location of the Project Y segment of the Manhattan Project and, in later years, the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Scientists from all over the world came to Los Alamos after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer’s takeover in the 1940s. The properties taken by the government included the Los Alamos Ranch School, founded in 1917 by Santa Fe resident Ashley Pond. Some existing buildings from the school were later used by the scientists and military for housing, offices, and community activities. In addition to its connection to WWII and subsequent scientific research and development, Los Alamos has connections to pueblos in the area as well as the homesteading history.

This visit will include an easy walking tour around the Los Alamos Historic District and will focus on many of the various activities, entities, and personalities associated with this small town atop the Pajarito Plateau. The tour begins at 3 pm at the restored Fuller Lodge with a short lecture on Bathtub Row and then to the Los Alamos Ranch School’s Guest Cottage, which houses the Los Alamos History Museum. The visit will include other sites on the Los Alamos History Museum campus: the Romero homestead cabin, an ancestral pueblo site, the Hans Bethe House, and the grounds of the Oppenheimer House. The tour will end at the Hans Bethe House about 5 pm, followed by a reception that will include libations provided by Pajarito Brew Pub and Grill and food provided by a local caterer. The tour will be led by an expert docent.

Purchase tickets: Price per person of this exclusive tour and reception is $175 per person. Ticket purchase is required, limited to 50 individuals and will be filled as purchased until full. Limit 4 reservations per purchase. Deadline for reservations is Friday, August 11, 2018 at 1pm. RESERVE YOUR SPOT HERE

Refund policy: Full refund is available until July 31, 2018. No refund will be given after August 1, 2018.

Contact for questions and reservations: Call or email Melanie McWhorter at 505-983-2567 or melanie@historicsantafe.org.
