International Women's Air and Space Museum

The International Women's Air & Space Museum, Inc. (IWASM) is dedicated to the preservation of the history of women in aviation and space and the documentation of their continuing contributions today and in the future. The museum began as a committee of the Ninety-Nines in order to collect historical artifacts and memorabilia of women pilots. In 1986 the International Women's Air & Space Museum opened in Centerville, Ohio in the former home of one of the Wright brothers' uncles. IWASM resided at this location until 1998 when the museum moved to Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland, where IWASM is located today, after it outgrew the Centerville home and needed to find a new location. The International Women's Air & Space Museum's exhibits are in the lobby at Burke, as well as the west concourse, and are accessible seven days a week. Since the International Women's Air & Space Museum is located throughout the terminal of Burke Lakefront Airport, a public building, admission to this museum is free.
