The remarkable Shannon Air Museum is home to one of the rarest collections of vintage aircraft in the world. The original Shannon Air Museum was established in the 1950’s but was disbanded in 1981 when the founder, Sidney Shannon Jr. passed away.

Now, after all these years, the Shannon Air Museum has retrieved much of the original collection of aircraft and aviation artifacts and is once again open to the public.

The old Shannon Airport has been restored and re-opened for business and everyone is invited to stop by and learn about the history of aviation in Virginia and to admire the collections. Shannon Air Museum, 3380 Shannon Airport Circle, Fredericksburg, VA 22408, 540-642-4387
