Delaware museums don’t slow down in the fall.
Here’s what’s happening at some local museums and attractions in and around the state the next few months:
Air Mobility Command Museum
1301 Heritage Road, Dover Air Force Base, Dover; amcmuseum.org
The museum houses over 30 aircraft varying in roles and sizes and has exhibits telling the story of humanitarian, airlift and air refueling history. The Medal of Honor “Hallway of Heroes” honors the more than 3,500 Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard service members who have received the nation’s highest military decoration for “…actions above and beyond the call of duty…” Admission is free.
Open Cockpit Day is held every third Saturday of the month through October. It provides access to many of the museum’s aircraft from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. if weather permits and tour guides are available. Tour guides are stationed in the open aircraft to describe the history of the planes and their missions. They are often retired crew members of these airplanes and descriptions are from personal experience.
