“The idea for an aviation museum in Hagerstown began in 1995 with a group of individuals that included Richard Henson, Kent Mitchell, John Seburn, and Kurtis Meyers. After a decade of delays, the museum opened to the public at the Discovery Station in downtown Hagerstown, Maryland on 14 July 2005.^[2] The following year, the museum led a community fundraising effort and purchased a 1945 Fairchild C-82 “Packet”, the first of a series of cargo airplanes produced by Fairchild in Hagerstown. This airplane was purchased at the liquidation auction of Hawkins and Powers in Greybull, Wyoming.^[1][3][4]

The museum purchased a C-123 and trucked it to the airport in 2019.^[5][6]

After originally considering building a new hangar, the museum moved to the former Fairchild Aircraft Flight Test Hangar in 2020 and purchased the building three years later.”
