This is Site SF 88, partially restored and operated by the National Park Service. SF 88 is the only such restored site. Patrially restored means 1 underground magazine of 3 such magazines. Radars relocated to the launcher area from the original site about 3000 yards away so that the public can conveniently see them. I served in the 531st AAA Missile Bn (Nike Ajax), deployed in the air defense of Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota 1956-1958. 531st was deactivated about 1961.

Is this the only original Nike Missile magazine which is open to the public?

I've heard someone else mention that this is either the only, or at least one of the very few, Nike sites open to the public... However I actually do not know.
It is a great tour, however, if you are in the area!

Pictured is a Nike Missile magazine, not a silo. The missile was raised by an elevator/launcher to ground level then raised 85 degrees to its launch position. Nike missiles were *not* stored in "silos"!
