In 1945, the first atomic bomb core was assembled at the McDonald ranch house in Socorro New Mexico. The George McDonald ranch house sits within an 85′ x 85′ stone wall. The house was built in 1913 by Franz Schmidt, a German immigrant.
The site is open only twice per year. This year I had the privilege of visiting.
