The wooden boat built as an aircraft, Hughes H-4 Hercules, is one of the central attractions of the museum’s collection. The museum premises are quite big and consist of four halls: two exhibit halls (one for aircraft and another for spacecraft), the IMAX room, and a water park.
Oregon Aviation Historical Society
The society aims to preserve the educational materials and objects related to the aviation history of the state, as well as to increase awareness of aviation development in the region. The organization established the museum in the Cottage Groove where the aircraft modeled at home by inventors in Oregon are preserved and displayed. These exhibits date the pre-WWII period and make a historical landmark, as it was in 1952 only that the experimental planes were legalized in the US.
The museum has many unusual exhibits including the Geodetic invented by George yates. There’s also a mid-wing Longster plane, a 1930 Cirrus Racer, an RV3, and a Pietenpol by Ford (this one is the plan-build exhibit). The collection is located at 2475 Jim Wright Way, Cottage Grove, OR.
