During the summer months we sponsor Open Cockpit Days or OCDs. These family friendly events provide many opportunities for visitors to see inside the cockpits of airplanes, visit with pilots who flew the plans, visit our displays inside the museum and displays in the Air Park.
If you would like to volunteer to help, just call the museum and leave a message for President John Eckley.
Effective June 5th the Prairie Aviation Museum will open it’s air park (adjacent to the museum) to the public. (We are hopeful that the inside museum will open soon.) Guests wanting to enter the air park are required to make an appointment. All state of Illinois COVID-19 guidelines will be in effect. In light of these difficult times, there will be no charge for admittance. Guests wishing to attend should call John Eckley at 309-530-2221 to make an appointment.
