K-25 History Center overview
K-25 History Center
Visitors to the K-25 History Center can expect to learn about the history of the plant and its various operations, as well as the science behind nuclear energy. Exhibits include interactive displays, videos, and artifacts from the plant's history. The center also features a theater showing a short film about the plant and its role in World War II.
Some unique things to see at the K-25 History Center include a replica of the gaseous diffusion process used to enrich uranium, as well as a mock-up of a control room from the plant. Visitors can also explore a model of the entire Oak Ridge complex, which was once a highly secretive government facility and played a pivotal role in the development of nuclear technology.
One of the best reasons to visit the K-25 History Center is to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of nuclear energy on the world and the challenges it presents. The center offers a chance to learn about the history of the plant and its employees, as well as the work being done today to clean up and repurpose the site for future use.

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.
