  • Summary

  • In this episode of Hometown History, we uncover the incredible story of a secret hidden beneath one of America's most luxurious resorts—the Greenbrier. Nestled in the hills of West Virginia, the Greenbrier has long been a haven for the elite, but during the height of the Cold War, it became the site of a covert government project known as "Project Greek Island." This secret underground bunker, designed to house Congress in the event of a nuclear attack, remained hidden from the public for over 30 years. Join us as we explore how an entire town helped keep this monumental secret, and how it was eventually revealed, leaving the locals both proud and betrayed. Discover the fascinating details of this little-known piece of American history, and ask yourself: could there be more undiscovered bunkers out there?
