The Wings of History Air Museum has been in existence for more than 30 years. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to aviation history through education, preservation, restoration and flight.
Explore our displays of vintage aircraft, engines, WWI and WWII items, model aircraft, women in aviation and more!
Our volunteers are all aviation enthusiasts who love to share stories with our guests. Tour content and duration are adjusted to the audience so are appropriate for families with young kids as well as seasoned pilots and aviation enthusiasts.
The Ole Fahlin Memorial Propeller Shop is the only FAA Authorized Repair Station for wooden propellers west of the Mississippi. See how our craftsmen make and repair wooden props using traditional methods.
Try your skill at flying everything from the 1903 Wright Flyer, to Cessnas, to F-18 Hornets and even the hypersonic aircraft “Darkstar” from the movie Top Gun:Maverick.
Kids and Adults can sit in the captains seat of our Vickers Viscount airliner or our Beechcraft Musketeer. In the Musketeer volunteers can demonstrate the basics of aircraft control (pitch, roll and yaw) using the yoke and rudder pedals.
The gift shop is stocked with many interesting and educational aviation items, as well as clothing, books and models.

Held in conjunction with the airport Food Truck Fly-In, our October Open House was one of our largest events ever. We had activities for both adults and kids, including several STEM activities like “How to Make a Cloud in a Jar” and designing a paper airplane for maximum flight time. Thanks to all who attended, and to our hard working volunteers who helped make this possible.
Thanks to everyone who attended Kids Day 2026. We had approximately 250 guests. We’d also like to give a shout out to our many volunteers who made this happen. Click here to see some highlights.
