    Great museum of very specific parts of our local history. The serious Commerical logging of Acadianan cypress in time of steam, and how all that money made for some of the fastest planes and pilots of 1930s. As a woodworker and lifelong aeronautics nerd, total heaven for me. My bride and my mom BOTH liked it and learned stuff, plan 2-3 hours and it is an eye-opener, much fun.

    It is a small museum🛩️, but it is very nice 🎖️, interesting, and educative 📕. We where received very friendly 🙂. We visited on Sunday and the entrance was free but you can donate, you can bring your kids, I'm pretty sure they will love it.

    Very interesting to learn the flying and history of the Wedell-Williams. The film really gave you knowledge on how woman raved airplanes. The saw mill was also a great experience and had so much history. It's amazing to watch the video of the logging company.

    Wonderful museum to take children to. They have a great video on three screens to entertain the kids with fans that blow on your face as the airplanes go by!

    So glad we turned around and went in. Very informative and just a super cool place. We learned a lot about the Cypress Tree and racing airplanes. Great little place.

    Free!! If you take the time to read you will be amazed at how much you learn. My favorite part was the airplane exhibit. They have done an amazing job at preserving them. Thank you to the foundation whom allows this museum to be free. Great experience.

    Everyone was so kind and patient, especially with my 4 year old (very inquisitive) grandson. All of his questions were answered.

👍👍 I never thought I would ever get to walk on and tour one of these rigs, but here I am. This was freaking amazing. Well worth the $8 admission. The guide was informative and the tour was well over an hour. Amazing. There are a lot of stairs and slippery surfaces. Be careful walking. If you have any i...
