Thoroughly enjoyed the Aviation Museum. Spent quite a bit of time there. It's a must see when you're in Asheboro, North Carolina.

This is a must visit for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs! You will find many airplanes, pictures and even some cars and a motorcycle in this museum. There is one airplane that kids can sit in to experience the inside of an aircraft. You will find lots of information about North Carolinians and their contributions to aviation across the globe. Enjoy!

Lots of interesting WWII artifacts and memorabilia. Easily spend 1-2 hours here learning about the piedmont and aviation. The kids found a lot of it interesting.

We stopped here on our drive back to the coast. I never knew this museum was in Asheboro. This is a great place to stop and see some history if you are traveling the area. We where able to tour the museum and still complete our road trip home. They have 2 hangars and a gift shop. My son loved it. We will definitely be stopping here again. The woman in the gift store was really nice and they have clean restrooms.

Woo-hoo was excellent! At the Asheboro airport off NC-49. Admission was $10 each +tax for reg adult. 2 hangers full of planes, self-guided. Really enjoyed. Recommend!

Great little museum. Yes it's kind of small, but it is absolutely loaded with all kinds of relics from the war and has so much dedicated to the people from North Carolina. If you're from here, you should definitely go, if you're not, you should do the same. There is a little Cessna that the kids can climb in and work the controls, which every kid will love. Friendly staff and along the side of the airport so if it's a pretty day, even more action is right there.

So interesting! This local museum has been well kept up by people that truly love local aviation history and local North Carolina heroes from every conflict. There are a good number of small planes to look at and you can even climb inside a few. There is a massive amount of memorabilia and papers all about these local heroes and the part that they and the country played during the different wars of the past century. It seems like a small out of the way place but it is definitely worth at least half a day to see all the amazing things housed in this local museum!

Very cool slice of aviation history! Mostly WWII and Korea War Era planes and Jeeps. We had a great time walking around both hangars and the ramp with the bomber.

It is great! Not your typical museum, rather two aircraft hangars filled with tons of military artifacts and history. Not just aircraft, but military uniforms, relics, and small arms. Everything can be seen up close, interesting to all ages. Nicely tucked back off the main road, well run property, clean, and friendly staff. Our family really enjoyed the visit, we were there for about 90 minutes and saw everything without rushing.

Great collection of old planes and war memorabilia. Two hangers full of some pretty interesting things. They also have a nice little gift shop, and the museum is at a small landing strip so we were able to see one plane land and two take off. ??

Not an especially large museum, but still nice and good to have. Seeing the variety of planes, etc., and reading a little about the history of each was quite interesting. Oh, if you're looking for small, model airplanes, they have lots on display. I enjoyed my visit.

Had a day off so whipped out the tablet and zoomed in on Google maps for a bit. Oh, Asheboro has an airport? (some of the locals in town said the same thing). Hey look! They have an aviation museum!Picked out a local restaurant for lunch, (Google), then set off to the land of Richard Petty, and aviation history.The airport is kind of on a dead end road, and not that easy to find, so I understand the locals question of existence.Once found, the wonderful lady that checked us in answered all doubts.2 aircraft hangers full of history, and the sweet smell of aviation fuel, and grease, us museum hounds love to experience. (Wasn’t really that smelly). All actual aircraft are flyable and ready for flight so no touching allowed.Plenty of donated family air looms to round out the experience.Wonderful place to visit.
