HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT OUR MISSION
The New England Air Museum’s mission is to preserve and present the story of aviation and aerospace, with an emphasis on New England’s role, and the genius and inspiration that made it possible. The museum also seeks to inspire young people to be the aerospace dreamers, innovators and workforce of the future. The museum does this by:
· Acquiring, restoring, preserving and presenting iconic and historically significant aircraft and related artifacts
· Engaging our visitors with captivating exhibits explaining the technology, history and people that are part of these famous machines
· Providing an accessible repository for historical material, research and expertise relating to the museum’s aircraft collection
· Inspiring people of all ages, through our education programs, to learn more about aviation and aerospace and aspire to be part of its future.
Together, we can unlock the New England Air Museum's full potential. Together, we can make history.
