Ranger-Guided Tour of Delta-01
Visitors listen to former missileer Al Martens on a tour of Delta-01 NPS Guided Tour (Visit Delta-01) Visitors receive a Ranger-guided tour of the living area and security control center in the topside Launch Control Facility. History aficionados will then take an elevator down to the underground Launch Control Center and the secret world of the missileers, where you'll learn what it was like to "pull alert duty" during the Cold War! The length of the tour is approximately 30 minutes. Visitors can obtain tickets on a first-come, first served basis at the contact station. The missile silo at Launch Facility Delta-09 (I-90 exit 116) is also open daily. During the summer season a Ranger will be on-site as staffing permits to provide interpretation of the history and operations that occurred at the silo. |
