between 1955 and 1974 it was one of 19 Nike missile sites forming a ring around New York City protecting the United States from nuclear annihilation by the Soviet Union.

The abandoned Nike missile base in Orangeburg is one of four sites in Rockland and Westchester Counties that housed surface-to-air missiles to defend New York from Soviet bombers during the Cold War. Although some of the sites still exist as grafitti-strewn ruins, most of the bases have been torn down and forgotten. The abandoned tunnels found in Blauvelt State Park just south of Nyack remind us that the woods were not always as quiet as they are today.

Cooler temps meant it was a good day to hike the southern portion of Everglades National Park! So much Flora, fauna & Cold War history makes for a great Saturday… #everglades #gators #manatees #alligator #panther #floridapanther #panthercrossing #evergladesnationalpark #nps #flamingomarina #seaofgrass #nikemissilesite #nikemissile #cubanmissilecrisis #usarmy #missilehangar #missilesilo (at Everglades National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZVMGNhu1z7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Over the Christmas Holliday, I was up at Nike Missle Silo taking a tour and the tour guide says “we are going to bring the Missile down” Ok, sure. Well, this is what he did. Be sure to check back through my posts of the Missile being brought back into the bunker. This is a great restoration by volunteers of a Cold War Era Silo near the Golden Gate Bridge. #nikemissilesite #nikemissile #sanfrancisco #goldengatebridge #silo #coldwar #volunteers #millvalley #sausalito (at Rodeo Lagoon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br-PclhH1Ke/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rm5el9n52xij

Sculpture by an unknown artist at Riker Hill Art Park in Livingston, NJ. The interesting back story is that this location used to be a Nike missile base meant to protect NYC and Philadelphia from Soviet attack during the Cold War. #sculpture #rikerhill #rikerhillartpark #livingston #misslebase #nikemissile (at Livingston, New Jersey)
