The Dakota Territory Air Museum is an aviation museumonNorth HillinMinot, North Dakota near Minot International Airport. The mission of the Dakota Territory Air Museum is to be a historical aviation resource honoring the men, women and machines that have impacted the rich history of aviation through displays and events that educate, inspire and entertain people of all ages. The museum consists of a main information room, outdoor displays, a restoration hangar, the Scott Nelson Gallery, the Texas Flying Legends hangar, Wright Flyer Hangar and the Oswin H. Elker Hangar.[1]

History

[edit]

The museum was founded in 1986 and the first museum building was built in 1988. Additions were added in 1990 and 1991. A new hangar, for the aircraft from the Texas Flying Legends Museum, was built in 2013.[2]

The museum has held an annual sweepstakes since 1997 in which it gives away a light airplane.[3]

In a cooperative venture with the Texas Flying Legends Museum in Houston, each spring, the collection of World War II warbirds is flown from Texas to the Dakota Territory Air Museum where they are typically on display from mid-May through July.[4]

Since 2014, the museum has hosted the Magic City Discovery Center, a children's museum, while it searches for a permanent location.[5]
