Thank you for bearing with us over the past couple weeks while the HGM phone was without voicemail ability (where all Q01 calls are currently being taken during Q01's off-season). We are happy to make said announcement; especially in order to better answer your questions/tour interest for both sites.

As of this post, the opening day for Quebec 01 has not been finalized, but it will be in mid-May. Stay tuned for that announcement, and we hope to see you at the soon!

The phone at our sister site, Wyoming's Historic Governors' Mansion, is temporarily without voicemail!
❗📞❗
The HGM (where all Q01 calls are currently being taken during Q01's off-season) can still receive/make phone calls, but voicemail is currently not available. We thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this, especially if you're calling with questions/tour interest for either site. We will announce when the HGM phone's voicemail has been restored. Until then, your cooperation is sincerely appreciated.

We had a surprise visitor this morning!

This Cecropia moth is a bit early for the season, as we are not open yet, but we hope to have a more concrete opening date here very soon!

In the meantime, here are some cool facts about this particular moth species:

- They emerge in the Spring to breed.
- Adult moths, like the one pictured here, only live 5-14 days.
- Because they have such a short adult lifespan, they do not have mouths, and cannot eat.
- They are North American's largest native moth.
- They are typically nocturnal.

TODAY is OPENING DAY 2026 for our sister site, the Historic Governors' Mansion of Wyoming!

The Summer Season for the Mansion officially begins today (April 1, 2026), and it runs through the end of September. During this time, the Mansion will be FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, Wednesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.! Look out for this blue sign on the front steps as an easy way to tell when the Mansion is open. 🤩

The first and former Executive Home of Wyoming was enjoyed by 19 First Families between 1904 to 1976. Then in 2004, when the Mansion turned 100 years old, it received the time-hopping renovation visitors presently enjoy! Between the free admission and having seven decades under one roof, this historic site may hold "the cheapest form of time travel." 😄 And rest assured that the nuclear history of Cheyenne touches this site, too, with the example Fallout Shelter the Hickey family created in the 1950s for Cheyenne locals to replicate in their own homes.

Q01's Summer Season will begin in early May, and it will also run through the end of September. So keep an eye on this page for our Opening Day announcement! If you have any questions in the mean time, please call us at our sister site at (307) 777-7878.

Whether it be at the or at , we can't wait to see you this peak season!

Howdy from snowy (and windy) Wyoming! While we're still closed for the off season, we wanted to share this wintery view of . Unless you were stationed at Quebec 01 during the wintertime (which is the hardest time of year for these MAF sites), you may not consider this view of our site!

Our southeastern corner of Wyoming has been incredibly warm during this off season, so this view feels special for Q01 staff, too! It has been more like "Winder" than Winter, with so many days of warm temperatures and strong winds. Thursday (March 12, 2026) has been named by locals as "The Wind-pocalypse," with the area between Q01 and Chugwater, WY receiving some of the strongest windspeeds of the day: upwards of 130 mph! Staff checked on the site the next day, and we're glad to report that Q01 received very little damage. It goes to show how sturdy these MAF sites have to be, especially with 60+ years of enduring such wild weather on the High Plains!

Q01's summer season will begin in May, and run through the end of September. So keep an eye on this page for our Opening Day announcement! We can't wait to see you in just a couple months!

If you have any questions in the mean time, please call us at our sister site: the Historic Governors' Mansion of Wyoming at (307) 777-7878. The summer season begins in April, and is free to visit during their Wednesday-Saturday open hours!

Hey! Did you see that the 'feels like' temperature at Ronald Reagan Minuteman Missile State Historic Site was -47 degrees Farenheit yesterday? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work at a site that's WAY cooler than that?? Well, now you can find out! We are hiring seasonal employees for the 2026 season, and we would love to have you apply! Please use the QR code we've posted, or the link in the comments below. (And seriously, we hope y'all in North Dakota stay safe and warm...It's gonna be cold down here, but not like that!).

This site will then be closed until April 2026, so come help Tinsel Through Time 2025 finish strong and !

Among this off-season, we hope Wyoming's beautiful October weather is treating everyone well! 🍁😉🍁 There are perks to the off-season, including finally being able to share the newest addition to our site's outdoor display: Quebec 01's National Historic Landmark plaque!

Do not be confused by the sign's "Launch Control Facility" word choice! Also known as a LCF, this descriptor hearkens to the original, 1960s terminology used for this type of military site. Additionally, do not let the plaque's year throw you off! Quebec 01 State Historic Site was awarded this NHL title in December 2023, but we were unable to celebrate it (let alone showcase it) until this August.

It is an incredible honor to be included as one of the 28 NHL sites for the state of Wyoming. The list is almost evenly split between natural locations and manmade buildings, and you can view it here: https://loom.ly/kZRz4Fk.

Since the Peacekeeper missile system was ONLY stationed in southeastern Wyoming for the brief 19 years the USAF utilized it, we think is a worthy and marvelous addition to the list that commemorates places of America's history. And we hope, on your next Q01 visit, you will enjoy the sight of this NHL plaque as much as we do!

Well folks...that's a wrap on another year. We'd like to thank each and every person who came out to visit us this summer! It's only through your unending support that we are able to continue showing off this remarkable piece of history. ☀️

While our doors may be closed, our social media is very much open! Feel free to message us with any questions, comments, or concerns, and be sure to keep an eye out here for information on our opening dates in the spring. Stay warm this winter! ❄️
