How To Donate
The Museum’s collection is constantly growing. We are home to artifacts ranging from large-scale items like airplanes and armored vehicles to smaller treasures such as individual pilot wings. Each piece plays a vital role in telling the story of World War II and helps connect visitors to the personal experiences of those who lived through the conflict.
However, due to limited space for display, storage, and preservation, we must be selective about the items we accept into the collection. In general, we are unable to accept items that are not related to military aviation or the World War II era. Special exceptions may be made for artifacts that support our World War I collection or our early aviation exhibit, which features a replica Wright Flyer.
When reaching out to our curator, please include a clear photo of the item or items you wish to donate. This helps expedite the review process and ensures a timely response regarding the acceptance of your donation.
Please note: We cannot accept drop-off donations without prior approval and a scheduled appointment.
Thank you for considering a contribution to our mission of preserving and honoring aviation history.
