The Oakland Aviation Museum was founded in 1981 and serves as the history center for North Field and Oakland Intl. Airport. In 1988, the Port of Oakland granted the Museum stewardship of the historic Boeing School of Aeronautics hangar built in 1939. The historic hangar is the primary facility of the Museum, providing indoor and outdoor exhibition space, an education room, a History Flicks room, a research library and aircraft restoration work areas. OAM has over 30 aircraft from the Golden Age though the Vietnam War.
The Moffett Field Historical Society Museum is a unique reflection of military history in the San Francisco Bay Area, and specifically Moffett Field and the Navy’s historical monument, Hangar One.
