This is a very cool piece of history. To see where weve come from and know that we are headed in a better direction. The park is really cool and relaxing. Fascinating to see the different structures that were previously used not that long ago.

Beautiful spot. Alas, they took the ladder away so theres no more access to the tower.

This is Hillcrest Park in Waukesha, WI. This is a former U.S. Army Nike Missile Control Site. The Nike missiles that this site controlled were located and set to launch from a large bunker 1 mile south of this facility. If you are interested in military history or have friends or family that are, this is a great place to take them. Officially this facility was called Nike Missile Control Site M-74.

Does not look like it gets very much love. Everything grown over, broken glass in the parking lot, and just overall run down.
