Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum

AIRPORT. Aviation has been an integral part of Alaska's history and growth, and this museum chronicles that history from 1897 to the present. Learn about Alaska's WWII flyers, early bush pilots, and modern "flightseeing" guides. Ongoing restoration projects salvage and preserve vintage aircraft. The museum is located at the largest seaplane facility in the world, on the south shore of Lake Hood. Photo exhibits, scale models, restored planes, and movies screened in a 25-seat theater form a multi-media exploration of the topic.
