Visitors can also explore the museum's “6,000 Stories” gallery, which details the relocation of residents from the former towns of Dunbarton, Ellenton, and Meyer’s Mill to make way for the 310 square mile plant. The museum offers several other exhibits that explore Cold War history, nuclear technology, and the exciting initiatives of STEM careers.
