WACO Museum & Aviation Learning Center

Tours of the Historic WACO Airfield Museum can be scheduled through the museum office during general hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 12:00 noon. Groups of more than 10 will get a discount. The WACO Historical Society, in addition to preserving aviation's past, is also dedicated and actively works to nurture aviation's future through its Learning Center programs.  The WACO Learning Center conducts programs with schools, Scout Troops and Civil Air Patrol posts here at the Field and at other local airports.  The Education Director has developed an outreach program designed to foster science, technology, engineering and math in schools.  Our programs demonstrate the principles of flight and engage participants in making and flying hot air balloons, kites, radio controlled model airplanes, paper rockets, boomerangs and Estes rockets.  We also incorporate the option for a flight in an airplane.  Many campers have been able to attend our summer camp through scholarships generously donated by Friends of WACO.  Your generous donation to our scholarship program helps us continue to provide this great learning experience to young campers through out the Miami Valley.
