ABOUT THE MUSEUM 

horizontal rule

The Golden Age Air Museum was established in 1997, its mission is to entertain visitors and educate them about the early days of aviation, through its special events and daily operations. The museum offers the chance to explore the past, come and learn how the early aviators flew, what they flew and learn the lost art of early aircraft construction. Museum displays include full size operational aircraft and automobiles, as well as displays of artifacts from the Golden Age. Craftsmen are continually working on restoring new additions for the collection, this work is done in view of visitors. Talk with the restoration volunteers and learn techniques and practices of early aircraft builders.

The Museum is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and receives its financial support through donations, admission fees & membership donations. 

The Golden Age Air Museum collection is available for photo shoots, advertising or production work. Please contact us for details. You can reach us by phone  at (717) 933-9566 or email at Contact Us.
