This is the only Titan II Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile launch silo left intact in the U.S. The nuclear warhead was dismantled and the site decommissioned in the early 1980's and with few modifications it became a very unique museum. The missile stands in the underground silo in a simulated ready state and on the guided tour is viewable. The tour also includes the control room, with all the hi-tech controls of the early 1960's, and an explanation of life and procedures here at this secure facility. Tours last an hour and start every half hour. To get there from Tucson, take I-l9 south to Green Valley. Take exit 69 west 200 yards past La Canada to entrance.
