Missile Silo Tour

Do something different! Take a tour of a Cold War Atlas E nuclear missile site. It is FREE. Tours take about 30-45 minutes and you’ll experience history which most haven’t. The former nuclear warhead equipped Atlas E site was constructed in 1961. The host military base for the Atlas E program’s command and control was located at Francis E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming. There were a total of four Atlas E sites in Weld County. This particular missile site was deactivated in 1965 and was turned over to Weld County. Tours include walking through the missile bay, generator room, crew quarters and the command center of the once active missile site. The Civil Defense section is available to demonstrate how the site was once equipped as a fall-out shelter during the Cold War.
