Review & FAQ:

HM69 Nike Missile Base, in the everglades, is a relic of the cold war. It was constructed by the US Army Corps of Engineers in 1965, in the wake of the Cuban missile crisis. It was staffed with 140 soldiers and was built to protect the country from air attack from the south. It has remained virtually unchanged since it was abandoned in 1979. The base was listed by the US Department of the Interior on its Register of Historic Places in 2004. There are three missile barns, a missile assembly building, barracks and guard dog kennels to visit. Two Nike Hercules missiles are on display.
