Welcome
Thank you for coming to the Cradle of Aviation.

From the early days of flight to man’s first steps on the
moon, Long Islanders have played a pivotal role in the
growth and importance of aerospace in our everyday
lives.
This museum is dedicated to those who dared to dream
and to those who made dreams come true. It’s dedicated
to the hard work and imagination of thousands of people
who called Long Island home.
We hope you find your experience to be educational,
inspirational and most of all.. a whole lot of fun!

Since the beginning of recorded history, humans have pursued
the dream of flight. Follow us through periods of aviation history,
as we recall experimenters and pioneers, many of them Long
Islanders, who solved basic problems of an aircraft’s shape,
source of propulsion, and means of control.
