Minuteman Missile Sites: Special Resource Study

This special resource study team was commissioned in the early 1990s, immediately following the START treaty. Through this report, it was decided that designation as a National Historic Site would be the best preservation option due to the National Park Service's mission "to protect and conserve" historic resources unimpaired for future generations.
