Kick off the season with Opening Day at the Dakota Territory Air Museum!

Celebrate the return of warmer weather and aviation excitement as the museum officially opens its doors for the 2026 season. Visitors of all ages are invited to explore an impressive collection of historic aircraft, interactive exhibits, and beautifully restored warbirds that tell the story of aviation across the decades.

Throughout the day, guests can wander through the hangars, get an up‑close look at vintage military and civilian aircraft, and learn from knowledgeable volunteers and staff who are passionate about aviation history. Many exhibits feature aircraft with ties to North Dakota and the upper Midwest, offering a unique opportunity to connect local history with national and international aviation milestones.
