Only Town With a Real Redstone Missile

I feel like every small town in America should have a missile, you know, just cause 'Merica!

Only Town With a Real Redstone Missile

The title is not accurate as there are other towns with a Redstone Rocket including Huntsville, Alabama (Home of the Redstone Arsenal).

Some military and NASA installations display Redstone missiles, but Warren is the only town with one.

Warren's Redstone Missile

Driving into Warren I was amazed to see this huge missile! Could it be this small town was really a secret military site? Nope. The Redstone missile came to Warren on April 21, 1971. A very informative nearby display gives the history of how and why. A very cool sight for this small town!

Only Town With Real Redstone Missile

Well-maintained and real Redstone missile. Saw this, then went to Concord to see the replica. Nice to see the real thing first!

[Don Stevens, 08/01/2017]

Technical nitpickers classify this as a missile, not a rocket, and while other real Redstones can be found at several space-themed attractions, Warren is the only civic municipality with one.

Redstone Rocket

Warren is not the only town with a Redstone Rocket. The McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center, an air and space science center in Concord, has a Redstone rocket complete with an attached replica Mercury capsule. The rocket was formerly located at the south gate of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

[Max Perrine, 12/23/2013]

The entire rocket at the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center, not just the capsule, is a replica, but it's a really good one. Technically, Warren retains its "only town with a Redstone" bragging rights.
