File past guard shacks with uniformed mannequins to witness the area’s not-too-distant military history at this fascinating Cold War museum staffed by veterans. Watch them place a now-warhead-free missile into position, then explore the cavernous underground silo to see the multi-keyed launch controls that thankfully were never set in motion.
