World War II was an intense time in American history, especially for the town of Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Few knew it at the time, but this small town was one of three included in the Manhattan Project, working towards the creation of the atomic bombs that would be dropped on Japan. Nicknamed the "Secret City," this area was inhabited by over 75,000 people all working on small pieces of the puzzle.
