Children's Museum of Oak Ridge

Reviewed By NorthCarolinaViolet

Interesting artifacts, in fact the building itself is a relic of the historic Secret City project, having been constructed as an elementary school. We are history buffs and love museums and we will visit here again hopefully bringing extended family to see where grand parents helped the war effort. Spacious, well done, pleasant place to linger and read the descriptive placards surrounding the exhibits. What luck we went in here - we almost didn't because the of the title "Children's" museum--but several other sites were closed. Don't miss it.
