One of the main attractions of North Dakota is the Nekoma military base, which is not far from the city of the same name. This abandoned base is particularly noticeable by the unusual pyramidal structure. To this day, it remains unknown why this form has been chosen for the construction of the defense system. Once, the base was used for deployment of the large air defense system. Tourists who visit the abandoned military base nowadays can see the remaining parts of the old radar equipment.
The base was built during the Cold War and had been intended to intercept Soviet missiles. The Nekoma Base became the first missile defense system in the US. The object was finished in 1975. However, the complex was abolished just a few years after commissioning. For more than 40 years the military construction has been disregarded. Travellers and tourists notice it only due to the original exterior design. The military base has not been guarded for a long time, so everyone can explore its territory. The Nekoma Military Base is especially popular with those travellers who want to take impressive photos in unusual places.
