Welcome
to the official website of the Pioneer Valley Military &
Transportation Museum! We are located at Westfield - Barnes
Airport in Westfield, MA. We are a non-profit 501(c)3 educational
museum-to-be preserving and presenting all forms of military
transportation.
Our
vision is to have an “Active” museum! Trucks that
can be driven, aircraft that fly and other vehicles milling
about! We plan to have much more than static displays like many
museums. Our goal is to educate the public in an exciting manner
with a hands-on experience for all ages. See a WWII airplane
take off and fly, view a working air tower replica from the
war and read about history first hand from a letter written
almost 100 years ago.
Our
site will allow visitors to view aircraft activity at the airport
including F15 activity as the 104th Fighter Wing prepares for
full operational status as well as to periodically observe vintage
war birds and other vintage military and civilian vehicles visiting
the museum.
We
welcome all new members! A large membership makes up a great
institution. Come be part of history in the present and in the
future.
A
message from our president!
Our next big event is the 2009 Hangar Dance & Cruise-In!
The outlook for this event is awesome! We are currently soliciting
for sponsorship for the event in the form of advertising in
the event booklet. So far we have many sponsors who have pledged
their support - we could use more! Please contact us if you
would like to help out with your sponsorship. This is expected
to be a well attended event and a great time. Please help out
and take a night out! Join us August 29th from 5-11pm at Westfield-Barnes
Airport! For tickets please call Leo 315-1466 or Dorothy 562-1813
