Titan Missile Museum
What was once one of America’s most top secret places is now
a National Historic Landmark. This preserved Titan II missile site,
officially known as complex 571-7, is all that is left of the 54 Titan
II missile sites that were on alert across the United States from 1963-1987.
This one-of-a-kind museum provides a rare look at the technology used
by the United States to deter Nuclear War. During a one-hour guided
tour, visitors view the massive 103-foot tall Titan II missile in its
launch duct, descend 30 feet underground to see the 8-foot thick silo
walls and 3-ton blast doors, experience a simulated missile launch
in the launch control center, and much more. At the Titan Missile Museum,
visitors journey through time to stand on the front lines of the Cold
War.
