The Oak Ridge Heritage and Preservation Association (ORHPA) is a nonprofit historical society founded in 1999 with the mission to preserve and educate the public about Oak Ridge's unique and rich technical and cultural history. They work towards preserving selected historical buildings of the WWII city and nuclear installations, which played a crucial role in the Manhattan Project.
The Oak Ridge History Museum, operated by ORHPA, offers a glimpse into the human side of the Manhattan Project, focusing on the history and day-to-day lives of people during World War II in Oak Ridge. Through exhibits and educational programs, the museum sheds light on the significant contributions made by Oak Ridge towards the development of atomic weapons.
