                   Welcome to the Marlton NJ Nike Base Website!
    Here you'll find information about an overlooked historical landmark in Evesham Township. Below are links to different sections of the site and a link to a page of links to other Websites and two other Websites I have about Nike Bases in the Philadelphia Area. Further down this page are links to the Nike Missile Webring. Visit the Webring sites to further your knowledge of the subject of the Nike Missile program.
    My interest in the Marlton Nike Base began in 1976, when I was a student at the newly opened Marlton Middle School across from the site. Passing the former base with its official looking buildings everyday aroused my curiosity and I began to seek information on it. It has taken me many years to acquire what information I have, as the subject of Nike was not well documented and difficult to find. After getting into the Web and discovering there were Websites that covered different Nike Bases, I decided I had enough to build a site about the Marlton Base. I was also able to learn more about Nike in general. The best part of this was finding out there were others interested in these Nike Bases. Thanks to this medium, the history of the Nike Missile program is being well documented and readily available and will not be forgotten after all.
    Let me know what you think of the site or if you have any questions or if I need to make any corrections. Also, if you have any information you'd like to contribute to the site, let me know. I hope you find your visit here interesting and informative.

Thanks for visiting!

or limb, so please keep a safe distance.
