Poplar Grove, Illinois
History
A museum dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of transportation and early aviation through the 1930s. We are located at the Poplar Grove Airport and have an extensive campus, including three restored airplane hangars, a 1930s-era garage, and a Sonoco gas station with authentic gas pumps! Throughout the summer, we have exciting and popular events, such as a Wine Tasting, Swing Dance, Vintage Wheels Show, and an Agriculture event. Our museum also holds monthly Dogs N Brats Days and hosts various car and airplane groups.
Our main museum building is a spacious airplane hangar built in 1937. There is ample room, both inside and out on our sprawling lawns, for parties, weddings, meetings, and more.
