Stay Overnight In An Old Missile Silo Right Here In Kansas
There are a few places in Kansas that are so unique you would never have dreamed they existed on your own. Have you ever heard of the missile silo near Topeka that was turned into a home? It’s a unique place, and if you’ve never toured it, you should definitely add it to your bucket list. This place is just as amazing as it sounds. Let’s check it out!
Before the 80s, an Atlas E intercontinental ballistic missile with a 4 megaton warhead lived here. Today, you wouldn't guess how far it has changed to become a home.
With a lot of cleaning, effort, and love, the space has transformed into an eclectic blend of bright colors covering industrial scenes.
When the place was bought as a home, it had a good amount of standing water and a lot of work needed to be done.
Just look at all that color! Plus, they've kept some of the original equipment around for their tours, so they don't lose the history of the place. It's gone a long way since it was first bought in 1982, that's for sure.
I, for one, eagerly await when we can stay here again! For now though, we'll have to be happy with a tour of the place.
After all, it takes a special kind of person to turn a missile silo into a home and inn.
