If you enjoy old airplanes and aviation history, as well as antique automobiles - this place is worth a visit. Two newly built hangars full of great displays. My favorites were an original electric car and an early Boeing that had crashed and been discovered and restored. The exhibits were nicely done and informative. Plus there were a lot of... More

Two hangars filled with cars, planes and other vehicles -- it's a car/plane lover's paradise. So many different vehicles, from a miniature motorcycle to a Thunderbird, an Army jeep and other beautifully restored cars and all the planes. It was an amazing place to visit. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to wander because there is so much... More

We are antique plane people. This is by far one of the best collections of antique aircraft and automobiles around. Visit the second weekend in September during the fly-in!
