The Latest News
Time for some good news, bad news.
Bad news first. Still no monthly dinners. We need to wait until the county allows dinner gatherings for more than 50 people. Dinners are on hold. We've also had to cancel the Warbirds Wings & Wheels event scheduled for September as there are too many variables in play with the current COVID situation. We want everyone to be safe. If you've already registered, you should receive a letter this week concerning refund or option to move your registration to May 8th, 2021.
Now for the good news and there's lots of it!
1. 2020 is already half way over! Sorry, no re-boot. But we do have 2020 vision and we are always looking out for your safety in these perilous times.
2. The museum is open and functioning! Yes! We started off with a bang! Or maybe that was the thunder caused by the
two F18E Super Hornets that dropped in to visit and it was wonderful seeing all the people that showed up to welcome the pilots and get an up close look at some incredible warbirds. It was awesome!
3. We are back to our regular hours, Thursday through Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (no reservations necessary). You will notice some new one way signage throughout the buildings, but that's not stopping visitors from meandering through all the new displays and artifacts. California is mandating facial masks, so if you don't recognize your favorite docent, ask! They may just be in camouflage.
4. We may have been closed for almost two months, but some of our staff and volunteers never stopped working. You will need to revisit soon to check out some of the new items. See below for some of the updates.
5. The 4th of July falls on Saturday. We can celebrate our country's freedom together so you can bring the whole family on down for an exciting time.
6. New construction project is underway! The cutorial storage area expansion to Freedom Hall has begun! Don't worry, construction won't be in your way of having a wonderful visit!
