Subject: Relics of the cold War -  Missile sites in Virginia

I am trying to run down information on what happened to the land that =
was used for NIKE missile sites (and antiaircraft gun sites) around =
military and public facilites in the 1950's in Virginia.  I have pinnned =
down a couple of missile sites in Fairfax County which helped protect =
Washington DC from the Great Evil Empire,  but I suspect there must also =
have been some around Norfolk
The site at Lorton is to be used as a part of the Cold War Museum being
developed by Gary Powers, Jr. according to a recent article I read.  Sorry, I don't
have the reference now.
John
