Minuteman Missile National Historic Site, Philip - SD Roadtrippers
The Cold War—an event lasting almost 50 years in human history that caused fear, panic, and distrust during the time of nuclear weapons development in the United States and Soviet Union. Minuteman missiles held the power to destroy civilization, but this destructive force also acted as a nuclear deterrent which maintained peace and prevented war.

Minuteman Missile National Historic Site - Lonely Planet
In the 1960s and '70s, a thousand Minutemen II intercontinental ballistic missiles, always at the ready in underground silos spread across the Plains, were just 30 minutes from their targets in the Soviet Union. The missiles have since been retired (more modern ones still lurk underground across the northern Great Plains). The first national park dedicated to the Cold War preserves one silo and its underground launch facility.

Minuteman Missile National Historic Site, The South Dakota National Park Dedicated To The Cold War (PHOTOS) - Huffington
The most terrifying thing about the mothballed missile silo in South Dakota is that it’s just sitting there, right off Exit 116 on Interstate 90, a few miles away from the legendary Wall Drug store and about an hour from Rapid City.

Minuteman Missile National Historic Site (U.S. National Park Service)
During the Cold War, a vast arsenal of nuclear missiles were placed in the Great Plains. Hidden in plain sight, for thirty years 1,000 missiles were kept on constant alert; hundreds remain today. The Minuteman Missile remains an iconic weapon in the American nuclear arsenal. It holds the power to destroy civilization, but is meant as a nuclear deterrent to maintain peace and prevent war.
