Princeton was at the center of the Manhattan Project, both during and after WWII. In addition to J. Robert Oppenheimer serving as director of the Institute for Advanced Study from 1947 until his death in 1967, more than two dozen Princeton University faculty members researched and developed the atomic bomb. This tour will traverse the University campus (including locations where Oppenheimer was filmed) while sharing stories about the local academics recruited to work on the secret project. (Please note: this tour does not go to the Institute for Advanced Study.)
