Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum

Nestled in the Hood River Valley along the Columbia River you’ll find the opportunity to step back in time and see life as it was in the early era of flight and automobile transportation. The Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum (WAAAM) is a living museum dedicated to preserving transportation’s golden past. WAAAM honors the memory of early aviators from the first and second World Wars, barnstormers, air mail and early transportation.

The museum features one of the nation’s largest collections of antique aero planes (or airplanes) and operating antique automobiles. The flying fleet of aircraft includes a 1917 Curtiss Jenny JN4D, along with aircraft from many manufacturers of the early days of flying, including Waco, Davis, Curtiss Wright, Travel Air, Piper, Taylorcraft, Spartan, Buhl, Ryan, American Eagle, Lincoln, Arrow and many more. The antique cars vary from a 1914 Ford Model T Depot Hack to Model A’s, early Dodge, Mercury and Studebaker vehicles. WAAAM also has a large display of military Jeeps, weapons and other tools of war.
