Warren's Redstone Missile.

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.

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.

Redstone Missile

The sleepy little burg of Warren has its own Redstone Missile. A remnant of the Cold War, it is nestled in a little park with a "Missile Information" kiosk that gives you the scoop. There are a couple of picnic tables, and the Warren Historical Museum is just steps away. Worth a look if you are out in the boondocks of NH for some reason. We drive over to Warren to get haircuts at Mary's Shear Connection. So get a haircut from the lovely Mary and get your missile on! Peace.
