Let’s be honest — who hasn’t wanted to visit a nuclear missile site? They’re super secret, high-tech and something you really only hear about on TV. But did you know you can actually visit one?
Missile Site 8 in Green Valley, Arizona, is a national historic landmark and the home of the Titan Missile Museum. The Air Force-owned property houses the only remaining Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile complex left of the 54 that were active during the Cold War. The site became a museum so the public could better understand one of the DOD’s biggest missions — nuclear deterrence.
“Our job in the Titan II program was to project a credible threat to the Soviet Union and to convince the Soviet Union that if they were to initiate a preemptive strike against the U.S., we would still be able to retaliate with such force and devastation that it would be suicide for both countries,” said museum director Yvonne Morris, who was also a crew commander at the site in the 1980s.
