History

The museum was founded in 1975 by Colonel Robert A. Stone.[2] The museum was moved slightly in 2000 to accommodate a new fence.[3] The same year train trips to the museum by the Michigan Transit Museum were offered.[4]

The museum announced plans to build a new education center in October 2021.[5] A few months later, it began planning to build a new perimeter road for the base and public access to the museum.[6]

Exhibits

Displays at the museum include a Link Trainer, T56-A-7 turboprop engine, and two aircraft cockpits.[7]
