Five Of Southern Arizona’s Least Known Best Attractions

by on Feb. 07, 2012, under Exceptional Museums, Local Adventures, Local History

Sorry I haven’t posted lately. Been busy making new videos for your enjoyment and our Southern Arizona Guide. I’ll have the 6 new videos for you over the next two weeks. In the meantime, I’ve spoken with many long-time residents who are simply unaware of several of our best Southern Arizona attractions.

So, as a public service over the next several days, I will post videos of five little-known, but exceptionally interesting local attractions. This first is a video I created about the Titan II Missile Museum. I’m sure most of you have seen the signs along I-19 around Green Valley and thought to yourself, “Just how interesting can an old missile silo be?”

Over the years, I have recommended the Titan II Missile Museum to hundreds of friends and family members. Each one has returned to thank me for suggesting this little gem of a museum about a little-remembered episode in our history called the Cold War and our brilliant defensive strategy termed MAD.

Here’s my video. Let me know what you think. jg

    Hello,
    My son just joined the Navy. I had been wanting to take him to this particular place, the only reason why I wasnt able to take him was because it’s cost. 
    Thank you
    Sandra

    Great video and of course the museum is wonderful. I visited when I first came to Tucson in ’96 and again some years later when families were visiting. Yes, the cost is not trivial but it takes money to keep the lights on and that stuff in good repair with thousands of people trudging through. Well worth saving some bucks up to visit if you can.
