About
The state historic site has two parts, the Oscar-Zero missile alert facility and the November-33 launch facility. The one-hour guided tour of Oscar-Zero starts with a video, then covers the topside and goes 50 feet down by freight elevator to the launch control center. November-33 is a sealed silo that visitors can see from above on their own. Tours run daily in summer, Tuesday to Saturday in spring and autumn, and by appointment from November to March.
Run by: State Historical Society of North Dakota.
