We offer a variety of outreach programs, including presentations, tours, exhibits, workshops, classroom visits, and/or continuing education opportunities.
General and special subject tours are available for individuals, school groups, and community organizations. Staff can also speak to your group or organization on a range of topics, including an overview of the collection, the Wright Brothers, aviation history, local history, or on a specific collection or collecting area.
