Nike Missile base for sale

The 14-acre Nike missile base just south of Hecker is for sale. The site formerly known as Hecker SL-40 has three underground bunkers that formerly housed Nike anti-aircraft missiles. The lifts for the bunkers still work. The Army shut down the missile site in 1969 after a decade, then turned it over to the Career Center of Southern Illinois, formerly the Beck Vocational Center.

Pre-sale inspection tours for the Hecker site are set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 26 and 2 to 4 p.m. June 27. The minimum opening bid has been set at $70,000. To contact Keller, visit buyafarm.com
