K-25 West Guard House overview
K-25 West Guard House
One of the main reasons to visit the K-25 West Guard House is to gain a deeper understanding of the Manhattan Project and its impact on the world. Visitors can take a guided tour of the facility, which includes a look at the control room, where guards would have monitored the entrance and exit of personnel and materials from the site. Additionally, visitors can explore the perimeter fence line and see examples of the equipment used to maintain security during the project.
Another unique thing to see at the K-25 West Guard House is the "last spray" graffiti, which was left by workers on the final day of production at the site in 1985. This graffiti provides a glimpse into the lives of the workers who were involved in the project and their feelings about its conclusion.
Overall, the K-25 West Guard House is an important point of interest for anyone interested in the history of nuclear weapons and the role of the United States in their development. With knowledgeable guides and unique artifacts to see, it's a must-visit attraction for anyone traveling to the Tennessee area.

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.
