Nike Site Summit was an active part of America's first line of military defense from 1959 to 1979, during the Cold War era. Friends of Nike Site Summit (FONSS) was formed in 2007 and worked under an agreement with Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) to stabilize and preserve six structures within this historic area. Since fulfilling the terms of that agreement, FONSS obtained its 501(c)(3) status in 2024 and continues its mission with maintenance at the preserved site and education about the Cold War through public tours, interpretive materials, and other outreach efforts.  

Please join FONSS volunteers, board members and Site Summit veterans for dinner and a special evening bus tour of Nike Site Summit as we celebrate our future. The dinner will feature Joongsuk Park, Consul of the Republic of Korea, who will offer reflections on South Korea's journey during Cold War years, from the war until today.  

After dinner at the Alpenglow Lodge in Arctic Valley, tour participants will be transported in a 40-passenger bus from there to the Lower and Upper areas of Site Summit (weather and conditions permitting).  And, for guests who haven't yet had the chance to see it, there's a long-in-the-planning trainer Nike Hercules missile on display in the Launch Bunker! This memorable evening tour will be hosted by FONSS volunteers who have worked on the stabilization and veterans who served at Nike Site Summit.
