liberty aviation museum

A great little museum with a lot of local history. Should only take 1/2 hour of so to visit. Children and adults will like seeing the older planes.

A perfect place to stop. History buffs like it and even my teenage grandson enjoy visiting. It was his favorite stop on our trip.

Make sure to eat at the diner inside the facility. Great breakfasts! The museum has some high quality restored vintage aircraft and military equipment.

Liberty Aviation Museum is well put together with interesting displays and artifacts about the history of Ford Tri-Motors. They also have a beautifully restored 1928 Ford Tri-Motor, T-6 Harvard, TBM Avenger, and B-25 Mitchell on display along with various other WWII artifacts. You can even catch a ride on their 1928 Ford Tri-Motor! Call them to see when it will be flying. Liberty Aviation Museum also hosts fun aviation events throughout the year that bring in other aircraft and make aviation come alive. Make sure to visit their website periodically to learn about their upcoming events. They also have a very nice gift shop. The "Tin Goose Diner" is located within the same building as Liberty Aviation. It has a 1950's theme and great tasting food and friendly service. Family friendly and affordable. From time to time during the summer, Yankee Air Museum's B-17 "Yankee Lady" and their B-25 "Yankee Warrior" give rides at Liberty Aviation Museum. It is a lot of fun! I highly recommend visiting Liberty Aviation Museum regularly to catch their different events!

For what they have, it is nice. Probably wouldn't go back every time, but rather just once every few years to see if there was anything new.

Not completely finished as one hanger still needs to be opened, but, worth a trip and be sure to have lunch!

Interesting local history plus more! The planes that were being restored were amazing. The gentleman that was available to answer questions was knowledgeable and added a bit of first hand stories.

I cannot believe that we live 45 minutes from the Liberty Aviation Museum at the Ottawa County Airport near Port Clinton and Cedar Point and have never been there. If you or your friend have interest in WWII Aviation, ya gotta go.For my birthday, the best wife ever arranged a seat on a the restored Yankee Lady, a B-17G flown by the Yankee Air Museum volunteers. It flew down from Ypsilanti, MI and offered rides for a hefty price. Appropriate considering it cost almost $3k to keep the plane in the air. What an experience! There are only 10 of these babies left flying and I'd say BOOK IT!The added benefit was the Liberty Aviation Museum where the B-17 boarded. It is one of the cleanest, best operated, most informative LITTLE museums I have ever encountered in 30 years. The museum tour by itself is only $5 or $10 bucks and includes, a TWO fully flyable Grumman Avengers, a flyable Ford Trimotor Tin Goose that use to serve the neighboring Lake Erie islands, a half track and a few other mechanical artifacts from the great war. The volunteers are extremely pleasant and helpful.This museum and attached airport is so clean you could eat off the runway but don't. They also have an equally amazing restored aluminum dinner called the Tin Goose.I know this seems repetitive but the diner was also amazing. My wife had the "Half Track" of a sandwich and soup. The lobster bisque was home made and among the best. I had a simple "MacArthur Sandwich" which was macaroni and cheese. Oh, yes.I don't know why this little gem is such a secret but don't be a victim. GO!

This has tons of history and info on the history of aviation and you can also enjoy a delish breakfast or lunch in the hanger of a actual plane!! A full service diner. Wonderful place to spend a few hours.

If you are into aviation stuff and the Ford Tri-Motor airplane this is a must visit. Also lunch in their restored Tin Goose Diner is well worth the trip. We always stop at the diner and museum when we are in the Port Clinton area.

I had a wonderful time going through this museum!! I highly recommend stopping by and having a meal at the tin goose diner afterwards!

The museum may be small but it's growing - and what's there right now is fascinating! Liberty has airplane models, artifacts and documents from both World War II and from Island Aviation Airline - the smallest airline in the world - it ran between the Lake Erie Islands for over 20 years. Watch the video and read some of the history of this amazing airline and how it brought life to the islands. Browse through the hanger to see a World War II bomber, jeeps, a halftrack personnel carrier, an ambulance and more. The museum is also known for owning a Ford Tri-Motor that they give rides on and it's in the process of rebuilding another. A PT Boat will soon be added to the collection along with other World War II vehicles. Just one tidbit to whet your appetite - did you know that school children carved 800,000 models of enemy airplanes and donated them to the military so American pilots could use them to help them "spot" enemy aircraft? That's just one of the fascinating facts you'll learn at Liberty. Don't forget to stop it at the Tin Goose Diner for breakfast, lunch or dinner - the food is outstanding and all profits go to the museum.

Great diner food. Good for burgers ad malts. Mom and pop type of place... Did not do museum... Not much there

Nice museum right off 2 ,east access. they have a beautiful B25 they fly and are restoring a Ford Trimotor, they have a second Trimotor they are flying and is currently on loan to EAA.They also have a T6 Harvard which is in flyable condition. 5 bucks gets you in. In addition to the aircraft they have some other military pieces , flack guns, German transport , American halftrack and jeep.The attached ,restored Diner( Tin Goose Diner) is worth a lunch stop, good eats.Try it you'll like it.

Was surprised to find the B-25 in the Hanger this weekend, thought she had gone to Oshkosh. They have added a flying Ford Tri-Motor in addition to the one being reconstructed. Nice quiet setting and nobody crowding you out while you are trying to take in the memorabilia. Must see for Aviation History Buffs!
