Arizona's Former Missile Silo Is Now America's Only Publicly Accessible Titan II Launch Complex
Visitors to Tucson, Arizona, may come for views of the largest cacti in America, but that's not the only interesting feature of the desert surrounding the city. Just south of Tucson, at an address shared by Sahuarita and Green Valley, Arizona, you can venture down into an underground silo where an inactive Titan II training missile is still aimed upright. During the Cold War, over 50 sites equipped with armed versions of these intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) maintained a state of alert, round-the-clock, in the United States. The Titan Missile Museum, a National Historic Landmark since 1994, preserves the last of those sites for public access.

This story was co-published in partnership with Somos Tucson and supported by the Pulitzer Center.Lee en español. Gabriela Torres Luna stares at the pile of political ads and propaganda that came in the mail about two weeks before the midterm election. Stuck between campaign flyers — with names and faces she doesn’t recognize — is a thick, light-green envelope with her own name on it.
