Today, this site is home to Young Patriot's Park. In the park, a decommissioned Hercules missile stands as a reminder to the site's rich past. A plaque on the missile reads, "This was once the site of an Army anti-aircraft missile base, Battery C, 85th AA Guided Missile Battalion which provided air defense to our community from 1956 to 1962".
