Minuteman Missile silo

From the tour they give you directions to a minuteman missile silo. There is a guide there that allows you to call in on your cell phone and get an audio tour of the outside of the silo. The orange chain is to keep cattle out. You can disregard the sign that says use of deadly force is authorized for trespassers.

This is a picture of the silo cover.

This is a replica missile in the silo.


We weren't aware of it at this point but at the air and space museum that we visited later they had a tour to the Air Force base that included visiting the inside of a silo. They also had the training facility equipment for the command center as part of the museum and had a nice audio overview of the functions.
