After a pause in public programming, Minuteman Missile National Historic Site is resuming tours of the Delta‑01 Launch Control Facility, now using Recreation.gov for all tour reservations:
• May 7: Reservations open to the public
• May 22: Tours officially resume
Tours can be reserved up to 30 days in advance, but they fill quickly because each tour is limited to 6 people due to the size of the original Cold War–era elevator. Standard tour time is 10 AM daily, with plans to add more offerings as staffing allows.
For those who can’t attend in person, explore Delta‑01 anytime through the virtual tour: https://go.nps.gov/MIMI_virtualtour
While you’re in the area, be sure to explore more of what the park offers:
• Delta‑09 Missile Silo (I‑90 Exit 116): Cell‑phone self‑guided tour available 9 AM–3 PM (summer hours)
• Visitor Center (I‑90 Exit 131): Exhibits and park film available daily 8 AM–4 PM (summer hours)
Please note: After Labor Day weekend, the park returns to winter hours (5 days a week).
