Fact text

  • Weldon Spring once housed the largest explosives factory in the entire United States, built to crank out TNT during World War II.
  • After the TNT plant closed, the same site was later used to process uranium ore, this town has quite the industrial range.
  • In 1945, someone actually proposed putting United Nations Headquarters in the Weldon Spring area, could have been a very different town.
  • The cleanup of the old uranium site left behind a 45-acre man-made rubble mountain, which now just sits there as a quirky local landmark.
