The National Museum of Transportation has heard our guests’ repeated requests for more plane-related exhibits over the years. They adore our training jet and our World War II “Gooney” with invasion stripes, but they have craved additional aircraft artifacts.
Thanks to the McDonnell family and their generous support, the Museum now has an exquisite Sanford N. McDonnell Tribute Exhibit wing with bountiful amounts of beautiful plane models and history. The exhibit’s presentation is top notch and well worth a visit by any ardent aircraft enthusiast. Hear more here.
FUND-A-NEED
The National Museum of Transportation receives no governmental funding and relies solely on the generosity of our community to continue preserving the past for future generations.
