Duck and Cover

Experience the tense moments when America realized the threat of a nuclear war. Enter a classroom from 1962 to practice "Duck and Cover". See how a nation learned about civil defense. Feel the tension of the war coming closer while watching President Kennedy address the nation on a vintage television. Step down into a community fallout shelter complete with emergency supplies and equipment. Lay down on a bunk bed and imagine what it must feel like to experience a nuclear attack.
