About
This historic WWII training base stands as one of the most original Army Air Force facilities remaining in the country, with approximately 90 original structures preserved from the era. Guests can explore two museum buildings, climb the iconic control tower for panoramic airfield views, walk through a restored C-123 Provider aircraft, and visit historic quarters and support buildings. The property offers optional guided flightline tours that provide deeper insight into the base's operational history, including views of squadron hangars, the historic fire station, and the significant B-29 hangar. The parking experience is consistently praised by visitors, featuring a spacious, level paved lot that easily accommodates large RVs and vehicles with towed cars—many guests note they arrive with substantial rigs and find ample room to spread out. Additional gravel parking is available nearby for additional vehicles. The quiet, safe atmosphere makes for peaceful overnight stays, with well-lit grounds and straightforward directions for those arriving after hours. The museum itself is a highlight for history enthusiasts, particularly those interested in World War II aviation and the Manhattan Project. Exhibits showcase authentic artifacts, photographs, and memorabilia documenting the base's critical role in training heavy bomber crews and the unique mission that connected this location to one of history's most pivotal moments. Staff and volunteers consistently receive praise for their knowledge, friendliness, and welcoming approach to visitors. The location offers convenient access to nearby attractions, including the Bonneville Salt Flats just minutes away, and the town of Wendover provides dining and shopping options within easy reach. This property combines meaningful historical education with practical, comfortable overnight accommodations for travelers on the interstate.
