  • About Us


  • The National WASP WWII Museum is dedicated to honoring the life and legacy of the Women Airforce Service Pilots and preserving the legacy of Avenger Field on which most of them trained. Our mission is to educate and inspire all current and future generations with the story of the WASP – the first women to fly America’s military aircraft – women who brought honor to our nation and forever changed the role of women in military and civilian aviation.

GET INVOLVED


The WASP Museum is an exciting place to visit. Guests hear stories of triumph, tragedy, and lessons learned while touching and seeing unique artifacts and aircraft. The Museum is so much more, though. It’s a school that goes on tour at airshows and in school districts. It serves as a gathering place for local and regional events. It’s a solemn memorial ground for the ashes of 13 WASP and hosts our yearly Homecoming Weekend honoring our pilots and their families. The Museum is both a place and a mission. To bring our best to every endeavor, the Museum relies on friends to supplement the work of our staff. Please consider ways you can be part of the mission today.

Volunteer

If you are as passionate about the WASP as we are, if you truly believe their story is not simply history to be read in a book, but a light to shine forward for new generations, then get involved with the museum today. We depend on a dedicated and talented group of volunteers, docents, interns, and fellows to complement and strengthen the work of full-time employees.

Volunteer programs

Donate Charter Member Peggy Barnes Maddox and her granddaughter, new member Morgan Maddox Brooks.

Membership

Membership is the heart of the Museum. For 15 years, admission has been free and school programs, both at the museum and on-site, have been underwritten by private contributors. This model allows everyone to have access to the WASP story regardless of economic status. For as little as $38 per year, 20,000 visitors and students will learn, be inspired, and act because of the WASP.
