Ronald Reagan Minuteman Missile State Historic Site Supervisor Rob Branting approaches certain myths around the Stanley R. Mickelsen Safeguard Complex located in Northeast North Dakota from a historical standpoint. Was it a $6 billion pyramid? Was it only open for a day? Is it truly abandoned? Rob looks to answer these questions and more.

I was running sound for a band playing in Mountain ND, 3 miles from the Cavalier Space Station. Mid song, the band stopped playing, ripped out their in ear wireless monitors, and started yelling at me. Someone came up to me and said, "They must have just cranked up the power to the radar".

I saw this title & started to roll my eyes then realized it was from the NDHS. Btw, from a Montana historian, I am extremely impressed by the NDHS. Wow they do great work!

Just stumbled across this complex and had no idea this was a thing. I live by the NORAD bomarc site in north bay and it's similar but nothing of this scale. Very fascinating. Would love to see the power plant and or the radar control systems.

Trying to contact someone from the State Historical Society here. I'm a person who makes short youtube videos telling personal stories. I was hoping to use some footage of the Safeguard complex in one of my upcoming stories. The videos are entirely non-commercial. The video I'm working on right now is about the low-level existential anxiety people my age grew up with as kids in North Dakota. All the missile silos nearby, the duck and cover drills, etc. I wouldn't use more than a few seconds of your footage for a couple different spots. I would give you full credit for your footage. Please let me know. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have. Thanks.

Back in early 70's my dad was enlisted in the Army, and I believe he was in training at the safeguard complex. Are there historic documents of who work there?

You said private ownership. Why would the Cavalier County Job Development Authority purchase portions the complex in 2020? The CCJD “not only to create jobs and increase incomes by the process of economic development, but to create a climate conducive for development within the whole county. Economic development includes the enhancement of human capital, developing community infrastructure and promoting business development.” What projects would they have going on there? There “about” doesn’t collate with the purchase of such an isolated complex? Any feedback on this? Thanks
