Related: About this forumWisconsin Couple Finds 1960's Fallout Shelter Fully Stocked In Back Yard
NEENAH When Ken Zwick and Carol Hollar-Zwick bought their Neenah home in 1999, they knew the backyard contained an underground fallout shelter built during the height of the Cold War.
What they didnt know and wouldnt discover until they ventured into the shelter more than a decade later was the bunker was fully stocked with food and survival supplies from 1960 by the previous homeowner.
We assumed it was just this empty space, Hollar-Zwick said.
When the Zwicks unlocked the heavy, metal hatch, they found watertight Army surplus boxes floating in 5 feet of water that had seeped into the shelter. The contents of the boxes, though, were in pristine condition

I wonder if the Twinkies held in the shelter are still intact.
