Director Lon Smith Describes Wichita’s
Living Aviation History Museum
The Kansas Aviation Museum is more than just a showcase for
Wichita’s rich aviation history; it is history. Listed on the
National Register of Historic Places, the museum is housed in
Wichita’s original municipal airport terminal.
Dedicated on March 31st, 1935, the Wichita Municipal Airport served
as a major mid-continent stopover for commercial operations as the
last stop before crossing the Rockies to Denver or Los
Angeles.
