Grissom Air Museum fundraising for planned expansion

Grissom Air Museum is expanding . 

The museum’s Board of Trustees has approved and signed agreements with a contractor to construct an addition onto the museum.  The addition is to have STEM-focused learning and house the TB - 58 indoors.



A groundbreaking ceremony is tentatively scheduled for October 4 during the B-58 Reunion. 

All this would not be possible without the generosity of so many people and organizations. The museum also has a donor who will match contributions up to $200,000.
