Museum visit

We took a trip to Oak Ridge to visit the American Museum of Science and Energy. This was full of all kinds of info about energy, physics and how Oak Ridge was built during WWII. This is where they developed the atomic bomb that was used on Japan which brought an end to WWII. It is not what you think of as a typical museum. Like its name, it showed how science developed energy in many different forms and fields from their conception to the present. Very interesting. We did not have enough time to tour the whole museum because we got there too late. If you visit the area it is well worth your time and allow at least 4 hours minimum.
