Freedom of Flight Museum
www. freedomofflightmuseum.org
Our organization was formed for the purpose of serving the public interest by providing educational opportunities and programs specifically focused on the history and technology of air and space flight. We provide traditional style aerospace exhibits that depict the historic accomplishments of area citizens and companies whose products and designs influenced aerospace development. Using these examples as success stories the museum inspires local students to persue aerospace careers.
The museum also provides numerous educational programs and activities to area schools, business, civic groups and the general public.
