What Visitors Say...

  • Informative and insightful

    “The staff at the museum were friendly, and greeted us upon arrival. We began the tour by watching an introductory video that was impactful since it begins with a veteran being interviewed. It’s an easy and informative experience because it’s laid out in chronological order. We were also given an interesting tour of real planes flown in that time period.”

  • Compact but tells a very interesting story

    “Compact but interesting museum with friendly staff who were very welcoming. The exhibits tell a good story about the young men who passed through the school, and the overwhelming enthusiasm of the locals to host them. Well worth a look, admission is free but donations are fully deserved.”

  • Hidden Gem!

    “An incredible learning experience. Beautiful museum with so much content. I personally want to shoutout the curator, George, who heightened the experience with his knowledge. I can’t say enough good things about this place - this is a hidden gem!”
