Shot during my visit (27th March 2010)
EDIT: March 2016 I thought this was the last generation of Silo Based ICBM in the United States but I was in error.

Titan Missile Museum Tour - Sahuarita, Arizona (near Tucson)
This video takes a look at the amazing Titan Missile Museum in Sahuarita, Arizona. This ICBM was one of 54 nuclear armed missiles operated by the US Air Force during the Cold War. This site is officially known as complex 571-7 and is the last one remaining of the 54 Titan II missile sites. The sites were on alert across the United States from 1963 to 1987 as a deterrent to nuclear war. The very interesting tour includes the launch control center, the silo and missile, and the above ground equipment. The tour costs $10.50 and takes about an hour.

Titan Missile Museum in Sahuarita, Arizona
Duck and Cover! Bomb shelters, the Berlin Wall, weekly tests of the Emergency Broadcast System, the piercing sounds of air raid sirens, and the Space Race. These are the hallmarks of the Cold War era.
The Titan Missile Museum showcases the dramatic vestiges of the Cold War between the U.S. and former Soviet Union and provides a vivid education about the history of nuclear conflict-a history of keeping the peace.
At the Titan Missile Museum, near Tucson, Arizona, visitors journey through time to stand on the front line of the Cold War. This preserved Titan II missile site, officially known as complex 571-7, is all that remains of the 54 Titan II missile sites that were on alert across the United States from 1963 to 1987.
Able to launch from its underground silo in just 58 seconds, the Titan II was capable of delivering a 9-megaton nuclear warhead to targets more than 6300 miles (10,000 km) away in about 30 minutes. Nowhere else in the world can visitors get this close to an intercontinental ballistic missile in its operational environment. This one-of-a kind museum gives visitors a rare look at the technology used by the United States to deter nuclear war. What was once one of America's most top secret places is now a National Historic Landmark, fulfilling its new mission of bringing Cold War history to life for millions of visitors from around the world.

America’s Largest Nuclear Weapon
Titan Missile Museum
The Titan II was a second-generation, 2-stage, silo-stored, silo-launched, liquid-propelled Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). It was stored in a hardened underground silo with its liquid propellant on board, so that it was ready to launch at all times. An ICBM is a missile specifically designed to carry a nuclear warhead from one continent to another. These missiles are ballistic because, like the shell from a gun, they receive a brief but powerful initial push from a rocket motor, then follow a ballistic free-flight trajectory to the target. The Titan II was the largest land-based missile ever deployed by the US.
While the Titan II was designed for the purpose of carrying a nuclear warhead from the United States to another continent, it was built for another purpose altogether. And that purpose was that the Titan II would never launch at all. The primary mission of the Titan II was “Peace Through Deterrence.” America’s strategy in deploying the Titan II was to deter nuclear attacks from other countries. It accomplished this by demonstrating that the US had the ability to retaliate against a nuclear strike to such a degree that the attacking country would be virtually destroyed, even if that country launched its weapons first. For 24 years, nearly a quarter of a century, Titan II missiles stood guard over America, fulfilling this mission.

Largest nuclear weapon ever deployed on display in Arizona
(ARIZONA HIGHWAYS TV) - They say the cold war is over, but Arizona is still holding on to at least one missile from America's nuclear arsenal. It's scary, and yet at the same time impressive. And you can see it inside the Titan Missile Museum in Sahuarita.
Titan Missile Museum - Tucson AZ
A quick tour of the Titan Missile Museum
The Titan Missile Museum is the only remaining Titan II site open to the public, allowing you to relive a time when the threat of nuclear war between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union was a reality.
The Titan II was capable of launching from its underground silo in 58 seconds and could deliver a nine megaton thermonuclear warhead to its target more than 5,500 miles away in less than thirty minutes. For more than two decades, 54 Titan II missile complexes across the United States stood on alert 24 hours a day, seven days a week, heightening the threat of nuclear war or preventing Armageddon, depending upon your point of view.
Titan Missile Museum
The Titan Missile Museum is run by the Arizona Aerospace Foundation and is located in Green Valley in the U.S. state of Arizona. It is located roughly 20 km south of Tucson and features a Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile still in its silo. It is kept without an active warhead and without any fuel. The missile currently in the silo was actually never an active missile. It had been used at another facility for the training of all Titan Missile crews. To demonstrate to satellite surveillance that the silo is inactive, large concrete blocks have been placed to prevent the silo doors from opening more than half way. However, the support facilities at the site remain intact, complete with their original equipment.
The silo became operational in 1963 and was deactivated in 1982 as part of President Reagan's policy (announced in 1981) of decommissioning the Titan II rockets. All Titan II silos were destroyed except for this one. It is now a National Historic Landmark.
In addition to being a National Historical Landmark, several sequences in the 1996 film Star Trek: First Contact were filmed at the Titan Missile Museum. The missile itself was depicted to be the launch vehicle for Humanity's first warp ship, the Phoenix.

The Titan 2 ICBM was one of the first Silo based nuclear weapons. This place is crazy, it shows the past...the Cold War, as well as the present...with the modern weapons of Mass Destruction. A must see for people. I do not know if I agree with M.A.D....Mutual Assured Destruction...but the seeing this point of view is interesting. Scary stuff nuclear weapons. The coolest part of this place, is that is was used for Star Trek First contact.

Arizona - A Visit to the Titan Missile Museum [Jan. 12, 2016]
Made good use of our time in Arizona - my American married daughter prepared a quite intensive tourism program for me and her brother. Especially the visit of this missile site proved to be somewhat impressive.
This Titan Missile Museum is a former ICBM missile site located at 1580 West Duval Mine Road, Sahuarita, Arizona in the United States. It is located about 40 km (25 mi) south of Tucson on the Interstate-19. It is now a museum run by the nonprofit Arizona Aerospace Foundation and includes an inert Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile in the silo, as well as the original launch facilities.
The 103-foot (31 m) Titan II missile inside the silo has neither warhead nor has it ever been fueled, allowing it to be safely displayed to visitors. In accordance with a US/USSR agreement, the silo doors are permanently blocked from opening more than half way. The dummy reentry vehicle mounted on the missile has a prominent hole cut in it to prove it is inert. All of the support facilities at the site remain intact, complete with all of their original equipment.
The silo became operational in 1963 and was deactivated in 1982 as part of President Reagan's policy of decommissioning the Titan II missiles as part of a weapon systems modernization program. All operational Titan II silos throughout the country were demolished, with the exception of only this one near Tucson. It is now a National Historic Landmark.

We got to visit the Titan Missile Museum near Tucson, AZ. The girls got to turn the keys to do a mock launch of the missile. When this real missile silo was active, those keys could only be turned if the crew received an order from the President of the United States.

Titan Missile Museum: Butterfly Valve
The four propellant intake lines on the Titan II stage-one engine were each fitted with a pre-valve, called the butterfly valve. The valve could only be unlocked by a coded-switch control in the Launch Command Center. Unless the valve was unlocked, the missile could not be launched.
