The Lone Star Flight Museum is full of rich history connected to veterans. The leaders of the museum themselves are veterans and understand the importance of preserving that history and educating the public about it. 2020 marks the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II and likely the last milestone anniversary for most of those that served in uniform. Events for young children, teens, adults, seniors, veterans and more will fill the summer at LSFM. To learn more about the museum and its many programs and exhibits, click here!
