Notes
  • Significance: The Foster NIKE Missile Battery PR-79 is significant because it is a representative example of NIKE batteries in New England and in Rhode Island. PR-79 is an intact, physical manifestation of American military history, and in particular, the Cold War in the United States and as such, it demonstrates the technology and prevailing political attitudes of the 1950s.
  • Survey number: HAER RI-37
