I played soccer on Old Dam Road in Fairfield. I remember my mom telling me "don't climb the fence, that's a missile launcher site." By the time I was old enough to understand it, the site had been demolished. I remember looking over the fence and seeing the Nike Ajax batteries. Considering the radiation levels compared to background levels in the nearby woods, I suspect they secretly installed NIKE Hercules missiles there, but there's no way I can prove it. Disappointingly, there's no sign of there ever having been a missile site in Fairfield.
