Outdoor Rocket Activities Planned at Ronald Reagan Minuteman Missile State Historic Site

COOPERSTOWN, N.D. – Visitors can enjoy “Launch Pad Oscar,” an outdoor event with free rocket-related activities and yard games for youths on Saturday, June 4, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Ronald Reagan Minuteman Missile State Historic Site, Cooperstown. The site begins summer hours on May 27, and will be open daily, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., through Sept. 5. 

The Ronald Reagan Minuteman Missile State Historic Site consists of two sites telling the story of the Cold War years in North Dakota: Oscar-Zero Missile Alert Facility and the November-33 Launch Facility. They are the last remnants of the 321st Missile Wing, a cluster of intercontinental ballistic missile launch sites that were spread over a 6,500-square-mile area around the Grand Forks Air Force Base. 
 
The Ronald Reagan Minuteman Missile State Historic Site is managed by the State Historical Society of North Dakota. For more information, contact Site Supervisor Rob Branting at 701.797.3691.
