Oakland at 125 - The Missile Base Nextdoor
from History Rhymes Hosted by Lukas Kwon
Today's episode takes us back to the Cold War, a time where a missile base armed with anti-aircraft missiles with nuclear warheads was built right next to Oakland in Franklin Lakes and Mahwah. The history of the missile base is the story of an era of tension and uncertainty where the threat of nuclear war loomed over Oakland residents. This podcast was created for the Oakland Historical Society .
