Evergreen Aviation Museum - Bringing Education to the Forefront of Aviation

摘要

The Evergreen Aviation Museum advances their mission - "To inspire and educate. To promote and preserve aviation history, and to honor the patriotic services of our veterans." To better understand their mission, we must understand their foundation. The Evergreen Aviation Museum is located in McMinnville, Oregon in the heart of Willamette Valley's wine country. McMinnville is positioned in the oldest county in Oregon. It is halfway between the Oregon coast and Portland - 30 miles from the state's capital city of Salem. The town is home to about 30,000 residents. The Evergreen Aviation Museum is located across the highway from the McMinnville Municipal Airport. The museum is a non-profit, tax-exempt, educational and scientific organization, which began in a small display hangar. A new facility opened in 2001 - accommodating about 3,000 visitors for standing events and about 1,500 for seated events.
