The National Balloon Museum celebrates hot air ballooning and gas ballooning and is home to the U.S. Ballooning Hall of Fame, which honors the people who have significantly contributed to the pastime and sport of ballooning. Designed in the shape of a hot air balloon gondola, the museum features exhibits from the Balloon Federation of America that spans 200 years of history, including the first hot air balloon to cross the English Channel. Other features in the museum include a children’s play area with books and photographs about ballooning and a library with a vast collection of reading material, books, magazines, and audio. The National Balloon Museum hosts a nine-day long festival called the National Balloon Classic.
