75th Anniversary
​2020 Trinity Tour

Join us for the 75th Anniversary Tour of Trinity Site.


Trinity Site, the location where 75 years ago, on July 16, 1945, the first man-made nuclear explosion was detonated, is open only twice a year. and the Los Alamos Historical Society is offering a guided tour to the site April 3-4 for the spring opening.
 
The Society’s Trinity Tour includes a unique two-day, one night experience via the Alamogordo southern approach through the seldom-seen interior of White Sands Missile Range.  Departure from Trinity Site will be out of the northern Stallion Gate, with a lunch stop at New Mexico Tech in Socorro.
 
Bonuses include a visit to the young (5,000-year-old) lava flows of Valley of Fires, and the New Mexico Museum of Space History overlooking the Tularosa Basin, Holloman Air Force Base, and White Sands Missile Range. This excursion aboard a comfortable, restroom-equipped coach includes experienced tour direction from Georgia and Gerry Strickfaden, leading their sixteenth trip to Trinity.  
 
The cost for Historical Society members is $400/person double occupancy; $500 for non-members, with a $50 single supplement for either. The price includes a tax-deductible donation to the Los Alamos Historical Society.

Only 40 seats are available. Reservations must be made by Tuesday, March 2. Refunds, minus a $50 processing fee, can be made through March 13.

If you have any questions, please contact Josephine Romero at 505-695-5255 or finance@losalamoshistory.org.
