Although the site is usually closed to the public, there is a public open house on the first Saturday in April and October, in most years. A variety of displays, souvenir vendors, and food booths were near the parking area. Speeches were given at the monument at ground zero. Old photos were displayed along the fence around the site. People wandered around looking, photographing, measuring radiation, talking and thinking.
Buses are provided for rides to the McDonald Ranch House, about 2 miles away.
| Quote of the moment |
| If the fires of freedom and civil liberties burn low in other lands, they must be made brighter in our own. If in other lands the press and books and literature of all kinds are censored, we must redouble our efforts here to keep them free. If in other lands the eternal truths of the past are threatened by intolerance we must provide a safe place for their perpetuation. |
| ~ President FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, address to the National Education Association, New York City, June 30, 1938.—The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1938, p. 418 (1941). ~ |
