Cold War Fallout Shelter

A Cold War-era fallout shelter located in rural Oklahoma, United States. This underground structure was built during the height of nuclear anxiety in the 1950s-1960s as part of the U.S. government's civil defense program to protect citizens from radioactive fallout in the event of a nuclear attack. The shelter represents the widespread fear and preparedness measures taken during the Cold War period when nuclear war between superpowers seemed a real possibility.
