Dakota Territory Air Museum

  Three buildings hold WWII military airplanes, small civilian planes, displays on North Dakota’s early aviation years and military aviation with a few fire engines and other vehicles thrown in the mix. Follow the sidewalk to the third building. We did not realize that it was opened and almost missed it. All of the planes can be flown and are expertly restored.

   One of the planes in the third building and one in the outside display area have been painted with stripes. A few days before the D-Day invasion most of the Allied planes were temporarily striped to avoid confusion with enemy planes - a little tidbit of trivia that was new to us.

  The buildings are accessible but assistance may be needed due to heavy doors and high lips at the entrances. A small exhibit area that overlooks the planes in the second building is not accessible due to stairs and no elevator.

   Any RV will fit in the larger parking lot. Park on the far west edge to leave room for planes to exit the hanger. This is a Harvest Hosts site so members may stay overnight. Museum  48.27144, -101.29131
