Minuteman Missile National Historic Site Visitor Center
Visitors can learn about the history of the Minuteman missiles at the interactive exhibits in the visitor center. The exhibits showcase the technology, design, and operation of the missile system, as well as the political and military tensions of the era.
One of the unique things visitors can see at the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site is a decommissioned Minuteman II missile. The missile is on display in its launch silo, and visitors can see the complex system of cables and electronics that make up the missile's guidance and control system.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
