Red Gate Woods:

Red Gate Woods is a forest preserve within the Palos Division of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, Illinois. Located within the preserve is the original site of Argonne National Laboratory and the Site A/Plot M Disposal Site, which contains the buried remains of Chicago Pile-1, the world's first nuclear reactor. After the initial tests, the reactor at Stagg Field at the University of Chicago was removed and reassembled at the Manhattan Project site in Red Gate Woods.
