Oregon Aviation Historical Society & Museum

Voted Best Museum of South Lane County of 2022!  Visit us to learn the story of Oregon aviation: ordinary people achieving the extraordinary! See the original, restored planes that show the origins of experimental aircraft. Hear the stories of the Beaverton Outlaws and how their brave, ingenious efforts paved the way for modern homebuilders. Look at the plane aerobatic pilots Tex Rankin and Dorothy Hester won records in.  All of this and so much more!

Founded in 1983, the goal of the Oregon Aviation Historical Society is to collect, preserve, and restore aviation artifacts for interpretive and educational displays and to ensure the preservation of Oregon’s rich aviation heritage for future generations.
