SF-88L Nike Missile site (Museum)

SF-88L Nike Missile site (Museum)
Sausalito, California (CA), US
The base is typical of more than 300 identical missile batteries that once guarded U.S. cities and military installations (eleven NIKE sites ringed San Francisco Bay alone during the 1950s). But Site 88L is unique; it is the only NIKE missile battery in the country preserved in its historic appearance. Today, it offers visitors a rare opportunity to visit a complete missile installation and learn the history of America's defenses during the Cold War.
