| Come Grow With Us! |
The Estrella Warbirds Museum has always been known for its constant change and quality of the displays. If you have not been to the museum in a while, there is no better time then this summer to catch up on the latest aircraft, military vehicle or automotive display that has become part of the museum since the last time you visited.
If you have a little bit of extra time on your hands and are looking for a new hobby or willing to share your knowledge or even learn something new, we are always looking for
gift shop workers, docents or volunteers in the restoration or maintenance areas. We are all family and would like you to join us! It's fun! There are plenty of new friends to meet and enjoyable times to be had.
Contact us today! We'd love to hear from you.

January 2017 Museum Updates
|
|
Looking forward into 2017 will prove to be an exciting time for Estrella Warbirds Museum! We just finished a strong growth year which created so many opportunities for the coming year. Having built out the first 13 acres, the City of Paso Robles signed off on a long term lease for an adjacent 9 acres allowing us to continue our growth.
None of this would be possible without the continued support of so many friends and benefactors, those whom have caught on to our vision of inspiring the future while remembering the past. We are forever thankful for your past and continuing support!
Those whom have visited the museum in the past know that we are home to not only a fantastic collection of military aviation history, but we are also home to one of the best historic automobile racing displays in California, As a direct result of this wonderful marriage, we started off the year with three bits of national recognition and we'd like to share them with you.

| Davy Allison's No. 28 on Display |
|
If you have visited the
Woodland Auto Display this past year here at
Estrella Warbirds Museum, you would have seen this Robert Yates car #28, diven by Davey Allison, on display. As of January 7th, it is on loan to an incredible organization. For just the third time since it opened in 2010, the
NASCAR Hall of Fame will have a new feature displayed on its Glory Road exhibit -- one that highlights the most legendary drivers in the history of the sport. It takes some drivers years to make their mark on NASCAR's premier series. In 1987, however, second-generation driver Davey Allison made headlines in his first full season. His five poles and two wins led to Rookie of the Year honors and a record that would stand for 12 seasons. Robert Yates, who served as engine builder on the car, took over as owner in 1989. He kept Allison on as driver and launched Robert Yates Racing.
