About
The Aerospace Museum of California was founded in 1982 as the McClellan Aviation Museum, a part of the US Air Force museum system. After McClellan Air Force Base closed in 2001, the community rallied to keep the Museum open.
The Museum relocated to a new facility on McClellan Park creating a large exhibit hall, classrooms and a 4-acre air park in 2007. The name was changed to the Aerospace Museum of California to expand the mission to display commercial and private aircraft as well as aircraft used by all branches of the Armed Forces. Most notably our new name more accurately reflects the Sacramento region’s contributions to aviation and aerospace. The Museum’s current STEM education mission was born.
It is through exceptional leadership and strong partnerships that we are able to inspire the future and proudly serve our community.
