Proceeds from the tour go to renovating the former base into an education center. All the while, you'll learn about the history of the Cold War and how the rockets were removed to be repurposed for NASA. You'll also get to walk through the tunnel to peer down into the 176-foot deep silo. To get there, your silo-owning host, who is experienced in the acquisition and sales of silos like these, will lead you underground down multiple flights of stairs and past two large blast doors, where you'll get to take a peek into the living area and control room that was used by the air force over 50 years ago.
