Ft. Knox, Kentucky

Elizabeth takes us to the rolling hills of Kentucky south of Louisville.  There, nearly 100 years ago, the government  built the Ft. Knox Army Base.   In 1936, the US Mint chose the secure military base and built the Ft. Knox Bullion Depository and began storing our gold reserves.  Is there gold there today?  We'll never know because the site is CLOSED to the public.

Greenbriar Resort, West Virginia

Elizabeth takes us to the the mountains of West Virginia.  Since 1778, The Greenbrier Resort has welcomed guests from around the world.  Known for its amazing golf courses, 20 restaurants and 710 guest rooms, The Greenbrier has welcomed 26 American Presidents and leaders from around the world.  Underneath the West Virginia Wing of the hotel lies a what once was a very closely guarded, classified secret.  Between 1958 and 1992, the US Government built and maintained a fully functional "emergency bunker" designed to house the Congress of the United States in the event of a national emergency.  A relic of the Cold War Era, the government could whisk away members of congress and keep a functioning government in the event of nuclear attack.   The secret was burst in 1992 when a reporter decided to write about it.  Today, the bunker is available for tours at our Destination Unknown - Under The Greenbrier Resort, West Virginia.
