Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum will honor veterans and one accompanying guest with free admission to the Museum on Veterans Day. Because Veterans Day falls on Saturday, November 11, the Museum will offer the admission discount on the observed and actual holidays: Friday, November 10, and Saturday, November 11. As always, active duty military personnel are admitted free to the Museum with military ID. Honoring veterans and military personnel for their patriotic service is part of the Museum mission–it’s ingrained into our organizational culture. The armed forces are heavily represented in our aircraft collection, and more than 75% of our Museum volunteer docents have served in a branch of the military. “We salute the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country, and welcome them to the Museum not just on Veterans Day, but all year long,” said Museum Executive Director Brandon Roben, an Army Reservist. Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Call 503-434-4180 or visit www.evergreenmuseum.org for more information. Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is best known as the home of the world’s largest wooden aircraft, the Hughes Flying Boat “Spruce Goose.” The Museum collection also includes a rare SR-71 “Blackbird,” and the Titan II SLV Missile–with its original launch room. Discover more than 200 historic aircraft, spacecraft, and exhibits on display, along with artwork and traveling exhibits. The Museum values its educational partnerships, which include the Academy of Model Aeronautics, the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab, the Oregon Space Consortium and the Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program. The Museum is located at 500 NE Captain Michael King Smith Way, across the highway from the McMinnville Airport and about three miles southeast of McMinnville, Ore., on Highway 18.
