Titan Missile Museum, Military museum and National Historic Landmark in Sahuarita, US.
The facility contains a deactivated Titan II missile within an eight-level silo complex featuring three-ton blast doors and eight-foot-thick concrete walls.
From 1963 to 1984, this installation served as an active nuclear missile site, housing a Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile aimed at targets in the Soviet Union.
The museum preserves Cold War military technology through guided tours, educational programs, and exhibits that detail nuclear deterrence strategies of the twentieth century.
Visitors must be physically capable of navigating 55 stairs to access the underground complex, with tours operating from 9:45 AM to 5:00 PM most days.
The missile silo doors remain permanently fixed at half-open position due to international agreements between the United States and former Soviet Union.

Sites dedicated to space research and UFO phenomena include scientific facilities and historic places where humans try to understand the universe and explore the question of extraterrestrial life. These sites include radio telescopes that listen to signals from space, space launch centers, labs where planetary missions are planned, and museums that keep the history of space programs. Some places like the Very Large Array in New Mexico or the Jodrell Bank Observatory in England have been watching the cosmos for decades. Others, like the Kennedy Space Center in Florida or the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, serve as bases for current space missions. The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington holds thousands of objects from the history of space exploration. The Roswell Museum in New Mexico documents one of the most famous UFO incidents. Area 51 in Nevada, a military site closed to the public, keeps fueling rumors about secret aerospace research.
