What visitors say
What a great tribute inside of a magnificent museum. Take the time to check out my Brothers in arms and their International contributions.
This is a small but very well done area within the Charles Wright Museum. Lots of information presented in an easy to understand way. Interesting artifacts and even a Morgan Freeman narration!
Wonderful EEA Kids Fly Free program, highly recommend bringing kids 8-17yrs. to inspire young pilots & new Drone program.
