Walls sturdy but crackers eerie relic of Erie fallout shelters
Erie kept 600 shelters and six underground hospitals in 1974 as a Cold War icon. Some shelves still hold unopened Civil Defense crackers dated October 1964. Local officials and a Mercyhurst professor note shelters would offer little protection against nuclear weapons, with the Civil Defense program ending in 1979 after deeming attack odds too low.
