          New Museum Building Progress  Under Construction

"Back to Airport"

 

The museum's present building is filled to capacity. Over 99% of the artifacts obtained in 2002 from the Veterans Military Museum in Hardy, AR are in storage. There is a desperate need to complete the new building which will permit proper display all those items. In addition, other artifacts are in storage, including an ANT-18 Link Trainer, WWII Navy SNB-5 Twin-engine trainer, Cobra Helicopter, the original Air Field Crash Truck and one of the original Fire Trucks. In 2004 Jay and Beverly Carter of Cotter, AR donated a 1/2 scale F4U-1 "Corsair" to the museum, and a group of local pilots purchased and donated an authentic BT-13 cockpit.

A new 11,200 square foot building was erected in 2004 . Work is in progress, on a pay-as-you-go basis to complete the inside partitions, install heating and air conditioning, plumbing, electrical wiring and lighting. Another $120,000 is needed to do all the above, and complete the outside driveway, parking areas, walks and memorial walls. Your assistance is needed to help complete this building so that we can better preserve the rich history of this Air Field, and honor the efforts and memory of all those who served here. Contributions, memorials or sponsorships of any amount will be appreciated.
