Museum Updates


The Museum is open for visitors during its regular hours of operation. The Museum is practicing social distancing and providing handwashing stations throughout the campus. Per Executive Order from Texas Governor Greg Abbott, all visitors must wear a mask in the Welcome Center and Gift Shop. Masks are not required in the Museum Hangar where safe social distancing is possible. For the safety of all visitors, we are not giving group tours. With the exception of Hemlock Films (see Events) special events have also been postponed until spring 2021. We hope, along with all of you, to resume regular Museum activities in March. Please check back with us.

  • About Us

  • The National WASP WWII Museum is dedicated to honoring the life and legacy of the Women Airforce Service Pilots. Our mission is to educate and inspire all generations with the story of the WASP—the first women to fly America's military aircraft—who forever changed the role of women in 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.

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.
