Pearson Air Museum explores the aviation history of Pearson Field in Vancouver, Washington.
Early aircraft, murals, and interpretive displays connect the field's military and civilian roles with the development of flight. Its hangar setting is part of Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, close to other historic attractions.
Check current museum opening days before arriving, since the hangar follows a different schedule from the surrounding grounds. Allow time to examine the aircraft and read the accounts of local aviation milestones. Use the museum's East Fifth Street visitor directions rather than assuming access through the reconstructed fort.
