Thinkers Lodge National Historic Site

Thinkers Lodge National Historic Site Designated a National Historic Site in 2008, Thinkers Lodge is the birthplace of the Pugwash Movement

"Thinkers Lodge" is known as the birthplace of the Pugwash movement, a transnational organization that has led the movement for a nuclear free world. In 1957, at the height of the Cold War, the first Pugwash Conference on Science and World Affairs took place here. Scientists from both sides of the Iron Curtain met to discuss the threat of nuclear weapons and the responsibility of scientists to wor

k for their eradication. This signature event led to a Nobel Prize for Peace, awarded in 1995 and shared by Joseph Rotblat and the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs. This Nobel Prize together with Cyrus Eaton's Lenin Peace Prize are both on display as part of the interpretive exhibit at the site.
