Our local aviation history began in 1913 with "barnstorming". With the advent of the war and need for military operations came the construction of the WWII bomber base, the Opheim Radar Base and the Glasgow Airforce Base. Some of the items on display are uniforms, foreign money, a WWI flight suit and a wall dedicated to those who gave their lives in WWII.
			The Fort Peck Dam exhibit was created by the Corps of Engineers. The dam project was started in 1933 and was completed in 1940, with as many as 10,500 people working on it at one time. The photo of the dam's huge concrete spillway, shot by Margaret Bourke-White, made the cover of the very first issue of Life magazine. The entire Fort Peck Dam Project is featured at the museum in miniature form.
