Simmons TH and Simmons RL. 2023. Quebec 01 Launch Control Facility National Historic Landmark Nomination. National Historic Landmark Nominations. 100009836_NHL. National Park Service. Washington, DC
The National Historic Landmark (NHL) nomination for the Quebec 01 Launch Control Facility in the Chugwater vicnity, Laramie County, Wyoming, documents its national significance under NHL Criterion 1 in the area of Military History, for its association with the deployment and operation of the Minuteman IB, Minuteman III, and Peacekeeper intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) systems during the Cold War1. The period of national significance is 1965-1991. The ending date of the period of significance is less than fifty years from the present in order to capture its years of service with the Minuteman III and its first years with the Peacekeeper. The facility meets the exceptional significance requirement of NHL Exception 8, given the vital role Quebec 01 played during the Cold War, in particular its association with successively more powerful missile systems and its unique association with the Peacekeeper missile.
