Tour a Missile Silo

There are a number of former active Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) sites that are now museums open to the public.

You can visit a Titan II, Minuteman or Peacekeeper Missile Alert Facility (Launch Control Facility), including the underground Launch Control Center where missile combat crews sat on alert, and tour a Titan II or Minuteman missile silo or Launch Facility.

You can see the tools and equipment the Missile Maintainers used and visit places few have been. In some cases, reservations are required for a full visit, and some sites charge a small fee. Check the web page for each to find how to visit these important facilities that were significant to our nuclear deterrence posture. At each location, you will meet docents who will guide you and answer questions - your docent may have even worked on the site you are visiting

Titan II Missile Museum — Arizona

Located in Green Valley, Arizona, south of Tucson, on I-19, Launch Complex 571-7 was part of the 390th Strategic Missile Wing at Davis Monthan AFB from 1963 to 1987, one of the 54 Titan II sites in that wing. The museum opened in 1986 and is operated by the Arizona Aerospace Foundation.  The Titan II Museum offers a variety of tours and other activities. You can find all the information you need on hours, directions, tours and fees on their website:  www.titanmissilemusuem.org

Oscar-Zero and Launch Facility N-03 — North Dakota

Quebec-01 peacekeeper site — wyoming.

Wyoming State Parks opened the Q-01 Missile Alert Facility (Launch Control Facility) as the newest state historic site.

Quebec-1 is significant as the only accessible Peacekeeper Missile Alert Facility left in the world.  The site strives to preserve and interpret the Cold War history of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, fostering an understanding of the mission and duties of the personnel assigned to work there.

Quebec-01 Missile Alert Facility State Historic Site offers the opportunity to see a military installation that was “hidden in plain sight” and controlled one of the most destructive nuclear weapons ever built by the United States. Delve into the daily lives of missileers, topside personnel, missile technology, the Cold War, and the deactivation of this missile system. Q-01 was part of the 90th Strategic Missile Wing/Missile Wing, initially as a Minuteman site (1962-1986) but then as one of five Peacekeeper Missile Control Centers in the 400th Missile Squadron (1986-2005).

The historic Delta-01 compound is built to execute a nuclear war. The park is offering a tour that focuses on the topside structure and uses accommodations to explore the underground launch control facility. The guides will take the visitors through the top side of the Delta-01 Launch Control Center and show a short video/virtual tour of the capsule below.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

During the Cold War, a vast arsenal of nuclear missiles were placed in the Great Plains. Hidden in plain sight, for thirty years 1,000 missiles were kept on constant alert; hundreds remain today. The Minuteman Missile remains an iconic weapon in the American nuclear arsenal. It holds the power to destroy civilization, but is meant as a nuclear deterrent to maintain peace and prevent war.  Visit the once secret facilities where Air Force personnel controlled and maintained ten nuclear missiles, part of a force of 150 missiles located in South Dakota. Discover the Cold War events that shaped our lives and still remain through a tour of the underground control center at Delta-01. At the Delta-09 silo, view a nuclear missile which once carried a 1.2 megaton warhead.Plan to visit all three sites

U.S. Nuclear Missile SILO Fields Maps and Coordinates

Here are some maps showing the locations of U.S. Minuteman III ICBM silo's along with coordinates. These are MAJOR nuclear war targets, each one of these silo's will be hit with minimum one warhead with a fairly large yield as part of a Russian counterforce attack. The blast and thermal effects within a dozen miles or so of each of these silo's will be deadly, and the fallout radiation will spread hundreds of miles downwind.

There are a total of 450 silo's in the United States as per officially supplied information spread out among three main areas in the United States: around Malmstrom AFB near Great Falls Montana, around Warren AFB near Cheyenne Wyoming, and around Minot AFB near Minot North Dakota. During the Cold War there were an additional 500 silo's for a total of about 1,000, which were in South Dakota, Missouri, and North Dakota. Those have since been dismantled and demolished due to various nuclear arms reduction treaties.

You do not want to buy land or live anywhere near these silo's, and preferrably not anywhere within 200 miles of these missile fields. Especially to the East of them which is the direction of prevailing winds.

There are currently three active missile wings (supposedly), each wing has a total of 150 silo's and three squadrons. Each squadron has five Missile Alert Facilities which each control ten silo's for a total of 50 silo's per squadron.

MAF = Missile Alert Facility, this is where the missileers control the launch of ten Minuteman III ICBM's, each MAF has 10 silo's under their supervision. The MAF's are also a target.

Minuteman missiles on the great plains.

"A nuclear missile silo is one of the quintessential Great Plains objects: to the eye, it is almost nothing, just one or two acres of ground with a concrete slab in the middle and some posts and poles sticking up behind an eight-foot-high cyclone fence: but to the imagination, it is the end of the world." Ian Frazier, Great Plains, 1989 The first Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) silos arrived on the Great Plains in 1959 when Atlas sites were constructed in Wyoming. Since that time there have been hundreds of Atlas, Titan, Minuteman and Peacekeeper sites constructed all the way from Texas to North Dakota, New Mexico to Montana. The most common sites have been the Minuteman. Due to its solid fuel technology, the missiles could be mass produced. They could also be remotely controlled from Launch Control Centers miles away from the actual silos, allowing sites to be dispersed over a wide geographic area. From the mid-1960s until the early 1990s there were 1,000 Minuteman Silos and 100 corresponding Launch Control Facilities for command and control.

Why Minuteman sites were constructed on the Great Plains

There was a multiplicity of reasons that Minuteman's were sited in the Great Plains region. The following are considered the three major ones: 1) Distance - The shortest distance to the Soviet Union - the United States main opponent during the Cold War - was over the North Pole. For instance, from Launch Facility (Missile Silo) Delta-09 to Moscow was approximately 5,100 miles. 2) Protection - Minuteman sites away from America's coastlines meant more warning time if submarines launched from off the coasts. 3) Far Away From Population Centers - Minuteman sites on the sparsely populated Great Plains meant less lives were directly at risk from nuclear attack by the Soviet Union.
