About Port Townsend Aero Museum

The museum sits beside the ramp at Jefferson County International Airport, a few miles south of Port Townsend. Its collection features antique and classic airplanes, and the staff regularly flies the aircraft that are airworthy. Restoration work is done in-house by mechanics and volunteers, and the shop also takes outside restoration contracts. A youth mentorship program lets young adults take part in operations, including restoration and flying. The museum is run as a non-profit and depends on community support, including donations and volunteer time.
