![]() ![]() Delta-09 is the only intact missile silo (of 150) remaining in South Dakota today. There is a parking area near the silo with an outdoor information center. (2) Delta-09 Missile Silo - From the visitor center, we continued another 15 min along I-90W to the Delta-09 missile silo. Afterwards, we spent an additional 45 min exploring the museum’s exhibits. It is also available for viewing on their website. The informative movie shares the history leading up to the Cold War and the introduces the Minuteman Missile defense system. (1) The Visitor Center - We began our visit with a 30-min movie called “Beneath the Plains: The Minuteman Missile on Alert”. I would recommend planning a minimum of 2-3 hrs total. During the summer, the visitor center and Delta-09 are open to the public Wed-Sun from 8am-4pm. There are three NPS sites located along a 15-mile stretch of I-90W: a visitor center, Delta-01 launch control facility, and Delta-09 missile silo. ![]()
