Albuquerque.

Had much more "stuff" on display than I expected.

I figured it was going to be mostly documents on display under glass and placards. Instead there were actual launch vehicles, weapons systems, aircraft, some of the original analog lab instruments from Oak Ridge, etc. It was outstanding.

Best documents were birth certificates of kids born in the infirmary at Los Alamos. Over 100 children were born in PO Box 1663, Santa Fe NM, the only place on Earth that Los Alamos actually existed.

I lived in Albuquerque for three years in the mid fifties. Dad was stationed at Sandia (now Kirtland Air Force Base). Moved to San Diego in 57 and dad retired there after 27 yrs. in the Navy. He was pretty close lipped about what went on at Sandia...although he did say that the alien thing was not a weather balloon.
I went to elementary school in San Diego and we did a lot of duck and cover.
