About Us:

The museum is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit educational institution, recognized and approved by the Federal Government and the State of Missouri. Our primary goal is the acquisition, restoration, display, and operation of antique and vintage aircraft. Our museum is primarily focused on but not limited to, aircraft and related items from what many refer to as The Golden Age of Flight, roughly 1920 to 1939. The museum's collection is housed in four main display hangars that currently hold a combined total of forty nine aircraft. However, since some of the planes in the collection are under restoration and are not housed in the main hangars, our inventory of display aircraft changes as plane restorations are completed or new additions to the collection are acquired. We have a particular interest in airplanes that were built in our area or that have some sort of local or regional historical significance. So stop by for a guided tour at least two times each year so you can see what's new! Or perhaps we should say "see what's old!" because if you are interested in a close up look at airplanes from the Golden Age of Flight, you will not be disappointed!
