A piece of Cold War history is now available as an Airbnb property.
Titan Ranch, located at 23 Missile Base Road in Vilonia, Arkansas, offers renters the chance to spend a night underground in a converted intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) facility. The facility was one of 18 underground Titan II missile silos in Arkansas that helped form the backbone of the United States nuclear arsenal from the 1960s until the 1980s.
When in service, the 110-foot long, 10-foot wide Titan II missile carried the largest warhead the United States military ever placed on an ICBM. Had the Cold War ever turned hot, it was capable of being launched in one minute and could deliver its 9 megaton warhead to a target 9,000 miles away.
