Consider Deterrence and Destruction at Delta-09
Minuteman Missile National Historic Site
Gaze Armageddon in the face with a visit to the Delta-09 missile silo. The viewing enclosure over the silo allows for visitors to gaze directly down at a Minuteman II missile. Consider the meaning of 1.2 megatons of destructive power hidden in plain sight.
The potential destructiveness represented by the now unarmed missile displayed in the silo at Delta-09 is juxtaposed against the peacefulness and beauty of the surrounding landscape. The thoroughly modern facility situated in the prairie landscape provides a unique opportunity for visitors to contemplate and draw individual meaning from this contrast.
