An Unusual Expansion
In 1958, the luxurious Greenbrier resort in West Virginia began building a new wing. Locals noticed oddities during construction: a massive hole, large steel doors, and 110 urinals. Guards were stationed around the site, sparking suspicion.
The Hidden Bunker
For 35 years, the truth stayed secret: beneath the resort was a nuclear bunker, designed to house the entire U.S. Congress in case of attack. The underground facility included more than 1,000 bunk beds, a 400-seat cafeteria, water tanks, and a crematorium.
Local Loyalty and Silence
Although many locals suspected something, they kept quiet. Generations of families worked at the Greenbrier, and fear of losing jobs meant secrecy was maintained. Few dared to speak about the massive underground structure.
The Truth Revealed
In 1992, a reporter exposed the bunker, confirming its existence to the public. Many residents were upset by the revelation, feeling betrayed by outsiders who unveiled what had long been an open secret. Today, the declassified bunker is open for tours, drawing visitors fascinated by its Cold War history.
