Quebec-One Missile Alert Facility

Wyoming state historic site From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Quebec-One Missile Alert Facility, also known as Quebec-01 or Q-01, located 30 miles north of Cheyenne, Wyoming, near Chugwater, was a United States Air Force ICBM launch control facility. It was operated by the 400th Missile Squadron constructed in 1962. The Missile Alert Facility operated with a Minuteman missile until 1970 when it was converted to a Minuteman-III site. Finally in 1986, the facility was converted to operate the Peacekeeper ICBM. The facility was deactivated in 2005 and turned over to Wyoming State Parks in December 2017.[2] The facility was opened to the public in August 2019 as the Quebec 01 Missile Alert Facility State Historic Site after restoration work done by the United States Air Force.[3]
