Hs-2 Wellhouse overview
Hs-2 Wellhouse
One reason to visit the Hs-2 Wellhouse is to learn about its history. The wellhouse was built in 1942 as part of the Manhattan Project, which was a top-secret government project to develop the first atomic bomb. The wellhouse was used to pump water out of the ground to cool the generators that were used to power the project. It was also used to filter the water that was used in the project.
Another reason to visit the Hs-2 Wellhouse is to see the unique features of the site. Visitors can see the wellhouse itself, which is a small concrete building with a metal roof. They can also see the two wells that were used to pump water out of the ground, as well as the pipes and valves that were used to control the flow of water.
Overall, the Hs-2 Wellhouse is a fascinating point of interest that offers visitors a unique glimpse into the past. Whether you are interested in history or just want to see something different, this site is definitely worth a visit.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
