Learn about the cold war era and the weapons of destruction at the minuteman missile silo site. The missiles have long since been decommissioned but during the 1950's-60's they were always "at the ready" to protect our country. Although the missiles were capable of mass destruction they were primarily used as a deterrent to other governments challenging our peace. There were many underground missile silos located throughout the US during the era that the public may have never known about and for this reason the silos earned the distinction of being "hidden in plain sight".
The Minuteman Missile Historic Site is operated by the National Park Service and is open free to the public. It is located along I-90 near Philip, South Dakota. Come, see the history and enjoy.
