By now you may have heard that we have lost our Field Hospital to a fire.
We are full of gratitude to the folks at the Akron/Canton Airport who both spotted and responded to the fire and the City of Green FD who also responded to the fire
Please note that the museum is open for normal business.

Yesterday we had a visit from the Liberty Aviation Museum from Port Clinton, Ohio and its Ford Tri-Motor.
It was a good day to fly and many did.
What a great piece of aviation history. #fordtrimotor #portclinton

Here is of our Goodyear "Drake". It is a four seat aircraft that had its first flight in 1950. Goodyear only built two of these. MAPS has recently obtained what remains of 4 Goodyear "Ducks" long thought lost.
One day maybe we will have a "Duck" looking as good as our Drake! #Goodyear #Akron

Pick up a bag when you visit. We think you will love it. Fresh ground from a local coffee roaster!
