Overview

Mission

The mission of the museum is to teach and preserve america's history during times of war from the home front to the war front and aviation history from the advent of flight through the space age. The warhawk air museum encourages an educational experience about the technology, culture, and social changes that have occurred in north america during times of war.

What it reported doing in 2024

Educational programs: school tour programs - the museum offers age-appropriate tours and classroom activities for children from preschool through grade 12. These programs combine a tour of the museum with the opportunity to participate in one of four hands-on programs that allow children to explore topics ranging from the role of children in america during world war ii, to technology and other items essential to living in space, to being able to interview world war ii veterans and hear them tell their personal stories. Veteran's history project - warhawk air museum, in conjunction with the library of congress, is videotaping as many veterans as possible, so today's generation, and future generations, will understand we owe our freedom to the bravery and sacrifice of those who served. The museum has preserved nearly 1,275 interviews on film.
