Come visit the single remaining Titian II Intercontinental Ballistic
Missile (ICBM). It was known as Site 57 1-7. At one time
it was part of 54 such sites that were always on alert during the
Cold War. It was part of the missile system assigned to Davis/Monthan
Air Force Base in Tucson. It’s first alert date
was July of 1963.
Ask Barry about the sites. As he was the supervisor of the
Flight Surgeon’s Office at D/M, he flew with the crews who
were going out to replace the incoming crews at the sites.
Under President Reagan the sites were ordered to be deactivated
by 1987.
Initially each site was left open for inspection by Soviet satellites. Later
much of the equipment was salvaged for other uses. November
11, 1982 marked the last day it was actually in use. This particular
site was in close proximity to Green Valley and Tucson and many retired
military people who felt that it would be best served as a museum
to remind folks of the cold war years.
The task was not easy and required thousands of man hours and dedication
to turn it into the museum it is today. It’s doors first
opened to the public in May of 1986. In 1994 the museum was
declared a National Historic Landmark.
Tours are available. Check with the museum for times and prices
as well as for the hours they are open.
