If you've ever wanted to see what Oak Ridge looked like during the World War II Manhattan Project, this is a rare -- if not unique -- opportunity. Color film footage uncovered in recent months at Oak Ridge National Laboratory includes extraordinary scenes of construction workers busy building production plants, support facilities and the town site that were essential to U.S. development of the first atomic bomb.

@Thallium208 Some of the shots seemed to be of and from the Jackson Square/Blankenship Field area, and the road which became The Turnpike. I would like to see more of the old city though.

@knoxnews, I'm working on a new LFTR video (a follow up to "LFTR in 16 Minutes") and would appreciate permission to include your footage in what will ultimately be a video released under CC-Share-ALike (or CC-BY) license. Could you either give me an OK here, or change the license to be CC-BY? I'll certainly credit and link to you. (And this is a long project so will be months before it will be out.)

Wow...gorgeous color in that print, just another reminder that this is pretty recent history. I tried to identify places that would be familiar to me growing up in O.R. in the '80s, but it's difficult, so I hope others can ID some of the locations pictured.

Having grown up in Oak Ridge I gotta say this is really cool!
