This location offers an extraordinary journey into the history of unpowered flight, home to one of the world's largest collections of gliders and sailplanes spanning back to the Wright Brothers. Guests consistently praise the museum's extensive exhibits and restoration areas, which reveal the fascinating role soaring has played in aviation history. The on-site Flight Center provides opportunities for sailplane rides during spring through fall, weather permitting, allowing visitors to experience firsthand the thrill of soaring—an experience many describe as unforgettable and bucket-list worthy.
