Nestled on historic grounds in East Garden City, New York, the Cradle of Aviation Museum is an educational gem on land that was part of the former Mitchel Air Force Base. This site and nearby Roosevelt Field hosted many historic flights, rightfully earning the nickname “Cradle of Aviation.” The museum is dedicated to preserving Long Island’s significant contributions to aerospace, science, and technology, inspiring future generations through interactive learning and historic displays.
Featuring over 75 air and spacecraft, including a 1909 Bleriot, Charles Lindbergh’s WW1 Jenny, combat aircraft such as a P-47N Thunderbolt and an A-10 Thunderbolt II, and the crown jewel, LM13—a Grumman Lunar Module intended for Apollo 19—the museum showcases the pinnacle of aerospace innovation. The journey through time is complemented by our giant dome theater planetarium, offering immersive explorations of science, technology, and the universe.
Since 1977, Warbird Air Museum has been a growing airplane museum in Titusville, Florida. For over 45 years, our group of aviation enthusiasts, veterans, and pilots have collected historic airplanes from pivotal times throughout America’s history. Some of these aircraft date back to the early days of human flight. Others are from key moments in world history like World War II. We are a 501c(3) educational organization that preserves these warbirds to educate citizens about the importance of the men and women who flew them, maintained them, and fought inside them. Visitors of our facility can experience restored classics and aircraft that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. We are excited to share our nation’s aviation history with you!
