Reviews of Weldon Spring Site Interpretive Center
"Very fun and informative. Came here with some friends and climbed the mound despite the cold weather, but the view over the area was entirely worth it. We climbed back down and visited the indoor learning center. It was an incredible learning experience to know just what kind of important role Weldon Springs played during WWII. We all enjoyed the trip immensely. I would totally recommend visiting during one of the warmer months or seasons when the garden is in full bloom."
"The staff there is very educated about the site and the programs related to the site. They are extremely helpful!"
"The Weldon Spring Site Interpretive Center is a must visit for all world war history buffs. The center is well maintained and the staff was helpful in answering questions. They play a short movie on demand that explains the history of the site, its purpose and it’s use now. The interpretive site has exhibits related to the world war, history of the site, chemical processing and about the various scientists/workers involved. It discusses about the development of the nuclear weapons. The center is not too big not too small, we spent about 2 hours there. The area outside is beautiful to ride a bike or walk. Wildflowers and prairies are planted around the center. We enjoyed the visit."
"I stopped by to see the wildflower garden and was pleasantly surprised to discover that the new Interpretive Center is now open... Since April!! I thought I'd poke my head in to see what it was like with an intention to revisit another day but I ended up staying for nearly an hour!! The staff is friendly and the facility is so well done. The story of the Weldon Spring Ordnance Works, TNT production and environmental cleanup is told through interactive displays. One really cool thing is an aerial map with plexiglass overlays that show where the old towns of Hamburg, Howell and Toonerville were located, as well as property owners, roads, old cemeteries and other points of interest. If you're curious about what that mound behind the center is, you can find out here. Speaking of the mound, it is still closed but should reopen sometime in the fall after the stairs are repaired."
