Second Saturday
We are glad you found us! Every day at WAAAM is a new adventure, especially on second saturdays. The museum collection is housed in over 3.5 acres of indoor hangar facility. Plan to spend at least an hour or two to get an idea of what is here. For the enthusiast, a day can be too short to see all of the cars, planes, motorcycles, military vehicles, and more. For an enthusiast looking for a seat in history, the day can end very soon. Listen to the stories, talk to a docent, recount your own memories and create new ones!
Step back in time with the Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum.
Please join us while we get the engines running! Take a ride in antique cars and watch our antique planes take off and land.
Join us the Second Saturday of each month when WAAAM gets the engines running. Action usually happens between 10am to 2pm. Lunch is served in the museum between 11am to 1pm.
Second Saturdays
In the winter will be held indoors and weather permitting, cars and airplanes will be taken outside. Otherwise, there will be indoor events, such as demonstrations, special exhibits, and hands-on experience for visitors.
Our antique aircraft, automobiles, motorcycles, tractors, military jeeps, and engines all get their day in the sun when museum volunteers get to show visitors that this is not just piles of dead, decorative metal...but artifacts that still have life yet!

Directions
From Portland
Travel East on I-84. Take Exit 62 and turn right onto Cascade Ave. Turn right at the first traffic signal onto 13th St. 13th St. joins with 12th St. and then becomes Tucker Rd. From there it is only 1.5 miles to Air Museum Rd. The museum is on the right side. Look for the vintage Drive-In theater sign at our entryway. We are right by the airport so think flat open area with no trees
