Have a blast in an underground Cold War missile silo in the Adirondacks, complete with your own airstrip.
Several missile silos were built in the late 1950 s and early 1960 s to prepare the country for an attack that never came. Today, most lie abandoned and filled with water. But one, nestled in Upstate New York s Adirondack State Park, has been transformed into a unique mountain getaway.
In the late 1990 s Bruce James and his cousin Greg Gibbons acquired the Atlas F Missile Silo along with 225 acres of land in the Adirondack Mountains. What used to be a United States Government missile base has been built into a stunning 2,000 square foot above ground home with 28 windows to enjoy the beauty of the Adirondacks. Below ground, in what was once the launch control center, is a two level home with Star Wars like doors that open into a large tunnel to accesses the silo.
