Our trip to The Bunker at the Greenbrier in the spring was so successful, we’re doing it AGAIN! In 1958 during the Cold War at the height of nuclear panic across the US, at the behest of the Eisenhower Administration, a US Government Relocation Facility was built beneath what the public thought was an addition to a hotel! We will tour “The Bunker” and learn of all the secrets it holds. After the tour, we will go into the quaint town of Lewisburg where you will select a restaurant and enjoy a leisurely lunch on your own. We will then re-board the bus around 3:00PM and return about 5:00PM.
*The cost includes the entry fee, tourguide fee and bus fee. Lunch cost is on your own.
