| About: | This museum is housed at the world's oldest continuously operating airport. Its fun, interactive exhibits will captivate visitors of all ages. The gallery itself is a one-eighth scale replica of the Wright brothers' hangar, where they built their first military airplane. It was here, in 1909, that Wilbur Wright trained military officers to fly. The museum's many artifacts include the Wright brothers' 1911 Wright B, a 1918 'Jenny' airplane that was once used for airmail, and a 1932 Monocoupe aircraft. Adm |

A treasure!: Went to College Park Aviation Museum and thought it was great. Staff was super friendly, very helpful. Exhibits were fun and interesting. My favorite was the computerized flight lesson for the Taylorcraft (?) Some exhibits were very high tech and others, like photo exhibition up-stairs, were simple, but enjoyable. I liked the old helicopter, too! I was surprised that this small museum offered so much. I picked up the calendar of events on my way out. I will bring my nephews to Santa Fly-in in Dec.
