Description

In this episode, Derrick Beeler, Julien Martinson, and Shar Jones take you deep into the Appalachian foothills to uncover the forgotten legacy of Lake City Air Force Station—a Cold War-era radar outpost perched high above the Tennessee Valley. Once a critical node in America’s early warning defense system, this now-silent installation played a vital role in monitoring the skies during one of the tensest periods in global history.
