History Takes Flight – Historic Aviation Weekend
September 13 @ 9:00 am, ending September 14 @ 5:00 pm

The American Heritage Museum in Hudson, Massachusetts, boasts an impressive aviation collection that captivates enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Among our highlights are the L-5 Stinson OY-1 Sentinel Okinawa campaign medical evacuation plane, Bazooka Charlie’s famous L-4 Grasshopper “Rosie the Rocketer” and the German Fieseler Fi156 Storch reconnaissance aircraft. The museum also features early aircraft such as the 1909 Curtiss Pusher, representing the pioneering era of flight. Visitors can explore aircraft from various periods, including World War I and II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Our immersive exhibits and authentic aircraft displays offer a unique opportunity to experience the evolution of aviation history firsthand.
On September 13th and 14th we will showcase several of the American Heritage Museum’s most rare aircraft as part of our History Takes Flight aviation weekend. This is a great event where you will see several rare historic aircraft take to the skies during the exhibition.
