Description

The Delta-09 Minuteman Missile Silo used to contain a fully operational Minuteman Missile, bearing a 1.2 megaton nuclear warhead from 1963 to the early 1990s. Aside from the seeing the silo up close, the park also offers a cellphone guided tour for visitors to learn the history of Minuteman Missile silos on the Great Plains and how Delta-09 was operated for thirty years.
