History

Further information: Naval Air Station Brunswick § History

The museum was established in 2009 and opened in the former base chapel in 2011.^[1][2] It purchased the building in December 2015.^[3]

Following restoration work, a Lockheed P-3 Orion at the airport was rededicated in 2020.^[4] As a result of encroaching commercial development, the museum began fundraising to move the other airplane on display at the airport, a Lockheed P-2 Neptune, a half-mile closer to the museum in May 2022.^[5][6] It began restoring the airplane in the summer of 2023.^[7][8]

Meanwhile, the first phase of renovations to the museum, the replacement of a brick wall with windows and installation of an entrance walkway, began in May 2023.^[2] The new entrance is intended to be dedicated in September 2023 as part of a reunion of Naval Air Station Brunswick personnel.^[9]

The restoration of the P-2 was completed in July 2025.^[10]
