Confederate Air Force Pad No. 1 at this site held a 98-foot Titan I missile that was dismantled in California, flown to Warner Robins Air Force Base, and then transported along I-75 to Cordele. The Cordele Rotary Club initiated the project as the dream of its president, John S. Pate, Jr., and that dream became reality when Confederate Air Force Pad No. 1 was christened on July 17, 1969. The federal government donated the Titan to the Cordele Rotary Club, which then donated it to Cordele and Crisp County. The site is maintained by the Cordele-Crisp Tourism Committee.
