nike missile site ms-70
from cold war, nuclear weapons posted in history by prof_improbable
During the Cold War from 1959 until 1972, the Twin Cities were protected by four missile battery sites. This is one of those four locations. The actual Nike-Hercules missile (or a reproduction of one) can be seen in a park in nearby St. Bonifacius.
The missiles were stored on underground rails and were brought to the surface by elevators. They were meant to bring down long-range enemy bombers.
All of the Nike sites were decommissioned on Feb. 4th, 1978.
