MILITARY HISTORY IN THE “Q”: Fall Tours Selling Fast: SOLD OUT
ANNOUNCEMENT:
Our 2012 Fall Tours are now FULL!
Thanks to everyone for their support and hopefully we can do more tours in the future.
Seneca White Deer, Inc. (SWD) and its partner, Finger Lakes Technologies Group, Inc. (FLTG) have announced that, as of Labor Day, buses are already 70% full. The public military history tours of the famed “Q” area of the former Seneca Army Depot are scheduled for the first three weekends in October.
“Folks need to send in their registrations as soon as possible to be sure and secure a seat on one of the tours,” urged Dennis Money, SWD president. “We have had to turn people away in the past, so please be sure and register early for the day and time you prefer.”
Money reminds potential tour participants that these tours will visit only the area known as the “Q”, which is located at the northern end of the former Depot. The “Q” was the most secure area of the Depot and reputedly stored nuclear weapons. The “Q” also housed a large contingent of Military Police. Tour partner FLTG currently leases the area, which is known as FLTG Park.
REGISTER NOW!
Will the tours of the “Q” area include going inside the structures within the “Q” or is it just riding around the outside of them?
I was a MP from sept 78 to sept 79 at Seneca Army Depot. Lots of memories of my fellow MPs and the “Q”.
Barry,
The only building we’ll be able to go inside is one of the igloos that was used to store weapons…probably nuclear weapons. Some of the other buildings are being used or renovated by Finger Lakes Technologies, which leases the Q area. Other buildings have been abandoned and aren’t available to visit.
I hope there is another tour at the army depot I wanted to go but i was asking a few of my friends and they said maybe and when they final said yes It was to late, so I’m hopping for another tour next year.
When can I book for next year 2013..I go to Florida in Oct. and want to get on the next fall tour now….I miss out every year….
