This museum is not as slick as the one in the Smithsonian, but it offers a lot in aviation history. It's in an accessible area of College Park, and it's worth a visit if you're in the area and have a little time. More

This is a gem of a museum. It's right at College Park airport. The displays cover Marconi and his radio right through to Wright who took a flight here in College Park.

Read about this... More

It's a good mix of traditional museum exhibits and hands-on learning centers. Since one wall of the main gallery is all glass and overlooks the active airport, unless... More
