The Grissom Air Museum houses a variety of unique aircraft. Modern jets as well as classic fighter planes and bombers are on display at this large facility. The museum derives its name from Indiana native Lieutenant Colonel Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom, an astronaut who was killed in a spacecraft fire.

Prior to becoming an educational site, the Grissom Air Museum served as an air force base. The base saw plenty of use between 1968 and 1994. After its deactivation in the mid-1990s, a variety of fighter jets as well as refueling, command, cargo, transport, and bomber planes were brought in for display. The Grissom Air Museum is open for visitors all year round.
