More Fallout Shelters
15 April 2011
Awhile back we at Ellwood City Memories asked if anyone knew where the old fallout shelters where located and what are they used for now. Many, many people contacted us with a much longer list of shelters in Ellwood City than we would have guessed. We received many stories but Danny John was the only one able to send us pictures.
Mr. John mailed us these two pictures from 1973 when the US Government was removing the medical supplies from the fallout shelter inside the Wampum mines. The shelter was stocked with enough equipment for a two hundred bed hospital.
Danny John Senior is on the left in one picture. Thank you for the pictures Danny.
Thank you so much for using these photos
