Delta-09 Missile Silo in Wall, SD, was once home to a fully operational Minuteman Missile, housing a 1.2 megaton nuclear warhead from 1963 to the early 1990s. As one of 150 missile silos spread across western South Dakota, it offers visitors a chance to tour the launch facility, which includes a 12-foot diameter and 80-foot deep silo made of reinforced concrete, along with support structures such as antennas and motion sensors.

Although tours are not conducted underground for safety reasons, visitors can explore the site and learn about the history of Minuteman Missile silos on the Great Plains through a cell-phone guided tour, gaining insights into how Delta-09 operated for three decades.
