Join us for this fascinating tour in the Marin Headlands,
Welcome to SF-88! An educational Cold War museum in the heart of GGNRA. Between 1953 and 1979 the United States Army built and operated close to 300 Nike missile firing batteries as the last line of defense against Soviet bombers. Volunteers are restoring Site SF-88 in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area which has been turned into a museum. This valuable historical resource is the only restored Nike missile site in the entire country. It's a great chance for you to see the tools of the Cold War up close.
Park at Marin Headlands Visitors' Center. Meet at 11:15 at missile site gate. Tour begins at 11:30.
Traveling south on route 101, take the second Sausalito exit (just before getting on the Golden Gate Bridge). Turn right onto the frontage road then proceed under the freeway approximately 200 yards, through a cut in the mountain, then take the first left. Continue for about 200 yards to a tunnel.
After exiting the tunnel: Continue west on Bunker Road for approximately 2.5 miles. You will reach a fork in the road. Veer to the left on Field Road. About 150 yards after the fork you will see the Marin Headlands Visitor Center on your right. Site SF-88L will be the first right you come to beyond the Visitor Center parking lot. It's about a quarter mile up the hill to our gate.
RSVP a must to Arlene Greenberg [email protected]
