Dedicated to the preservation and display of the aviation history of the Delaware Valley. We have a top notch research facility, including thousands of books, technical documents, magazines, still and motion pictures, and other media.

Currently, our exhibit contains nearly 40 display cases with separate focuses on World War I, the Pitcairn Era, World War Two, the Tuskegee Airmen, the Cold War, women in aviation, Korea, Southeast Asia, and contemporary aviation and space exploration. We also feature a history of our ME-262 jet fighter and early jet development. We now have over 200 hand crafted scale models on display and a growing number of aviation related ephemera.
