Did you know that our TBM-3E Avenger currently on display in our annex hangar during special event weekends operated as a fire bomber / sprayer in civilian service after WWII and before we restored it from 1984-1986? Here is a photo of it in 1978 courtesy of the Warbird Information Exchange (WIX) and Warbird Resource Group as taken by Martin Kyburz - it certainly looks a lot different today! See more photos of the TBM both before and after restoration at: www.warbirdregistry.org/avengerregistry/avenger-91733.html
You can help bring history to life for thousands of Massachusetts students.
The “Help Fuel Our Field Trips” campaign supports the American Heritage Museum’s School Field Trip Grant Fund, which provides critical funding for transportation and admission for financially challenged schools across the region.
Field Trips Make a Huge Difference for Students
Field trips to the American Heritage Museum aren’t just exciting days out — they’re transformational learning experiences. Designed to align with the Massachusetts History and Social Science Curriculum Framework, our exhibits take students on a powerful journey through American and world history — from the Revolutionary War to modern conflicts — through authentic artifacts, detailed dioramas, and compelling personal stories. Additionally, our recently added interpretive exhibits on the Holocaust teach about past genocides and other atrocity crimes illustrates the dangers of antisemitism, racism, and all forms of discrimination and dehumanization.
For many students, especially those from under-resourced schools, these visits offer a rare and meaningful connection to the past — the kind of experiential learning that inspires empathy, critical thinking, and a lifelong appreciation for history.
With your support, we can ensure that every student, regardless of background, has the opportunity to step into history and explore the events, people, and ideas that shaped the world we live in today.
