Arkansas Air Museum

The museum opened to the public in 1986 with displays and exhibits about the history of aviation in Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas and vintage aircraft, both civilian and military, from across the 20th century. The museum is housed in the historic White Hangar at Drake Field, Fayetteville's municipal airport at 4290 S. School Ave.

Although the collection of aircraft rotate in and out because many of the aircraft are still flying, aircraft on display will always include biplanes, jets, helicopters and, most recently, the cockpit of a Douglas DC-3. The museum also sponsors an airfest each year, usually in June.

To become a member, the Arkansas Air Museum has an online form.

Historic Homes of Fayetteville

  • Stirman House
    In 1951, Walter J. Lemke photographed a dozen homes in Fayetteville that he considered historic and made it a baker's dozen by adding a picture and description of the Masonic Hall. Although most of the buildings are still standing, several have since been torn down.

University Buildings

  • Senior Walk
    The first history of the University of Arkansas included more than a dozen photos of the campus as it appeared just after the turn of the century. Most of the buildings are no longer standing, and nearly all of those that do remain are used in new capacities.
