The Minuteman Missile National Historic Site was established in 1999 to illustrate the history and significance of the Cold War, the arms race, and intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) development. This National Historic Site preserves the last remaining Minuteman II ICBM system in the United States. 450 of the newer Minuteman III missiles are still on active duty at Malmstrom AFB, Montana, Minot AFB, North Dakota, and F. E. Warren AFB, Wyoming.

  This place was a great experience and chilling to re-live the cold war through its history. Our guide was actually a Air Force Vet who captained such a minute man launch site, and was super helpful and had all the time in the world to answer our questions and show us the different controls and such. If you have time - I really recommend checking this place out!
