Greenbrier Bunker

The Greenbrier Bunker, officially known as Project Greek Island, was a secret United States government continuity program located beneath the Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Constructed in 1958-1962 during the Cold War era, this underground facility was designed to house and protect the entire United States Congress in the event of a nuclear attack. The bunker remained operational and classified for over thirty years until its existence was revealed by The Washington Post in 1992, after which it was decommissioned and opened for public tours.
