Grissom Air Museum

Grissom Air Museum

The Grissom Air Museum, Peru, Indiana was founded in 1981, by seven prior service military personnel who lived in the area. The Heritage Museum Foundation (HMF) wanted to preserve aircraft that were currently located at Grissom Air Reserve Base. The HMF started the Grissom Air Museum in 1982 outside of what then was the main gate of Grissom Air Reserve Base. In the past two years, the museum has added four aircraft making the museum one of the nation’s fastest growing aviation museums.

The Grissom Air Museum currently has 32 aircraft, 24 on display, 7 in different stages of restoration and 1 awaiting its display area.

The Grissom Air Museum is also the home of the 305th Bomb Wing (BW) and the 319th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (FIS).
