Two websites about Cold War facilities and fallout shelters.
Coldwar-Ct.com
Massachusetts Cold War History Site
Both sites feature pictures and small histories of various fallout shelters and other ‘doomsday’ real estate. One thing I found interesting and that I was unaware of was that the .gov had, in some cases, built small shelters for radio stations to allow them to continue to broadcast in a crisis. I never knew that.
The pictures of the hardened communication facilities is interesting as well. Having gotten to explore a couple of those microwave relay outposts, I can tell you that for the era they were built in they were very serious about survivability.
Anyway, entertaining links with some fascinating pictures…I especially enjoyed this series. Every now and then these facilities come up for sale. You’d have to spend some serious coin on your own to come up with an equal level of protection.
There was an online Civil Defense history site, but I haven’t visited inseveral years.

A few years ago there was a radio station bunker in Ga up for sale. The AM station (I wanna say WSB) figured they didn’t need the hardened facility anymore and put it on the block. It was about an hour and a half south of Atlanta on the back roads.
I’d love to find some old Nike base that was just left there and buy that property.
