Malmstrom Air Force Base Heritage Center and Air Park
The air park has a number of aircraft from various eras, primarily from the 1950s and 1960s, but the real attractions here are the implements of nuclear weaponry: a Minuteman III ICBM and its transporter erector. Inside, amid scads of military equipment and uniforms and a reconstruction of a World War II-era barracks, is the old command center that once controlled the base's nuclear missiles. Interpretation of the exhibits is minimal, unfortunately.
