White Sands Missile Base and Museum


Bookmark and Share


After leaving Roswell we continued to the White Sands National Monument. Then we continued 30 miles west on US 70 to White Sands Missile Base.

Entry requires a quick background check and a photograph. This took about 10 minutes. We had decided to park the Roadtrek in a parking area outside the base and then we walked the short distance to the security office. The museum is only a few yards from the entry so we walked that, too.

The displays are really interesting. A scale model of the first nuclear device, all sorts of rocketry, a really interesting full scale cut-away of a V2 rocket and even some drones, including a Soviet are Hind helicopter drone. It was well worth the stop. At the end of the post is a link to a larger photo collection.
