A rotation of airworthy aircraft, historic photos, films about the history of aviation in Tocumwal as well as imagery and information are presented to visitors, providing a comprehensive dive into the town’s history.
The museum, which opened in 2021, gives visitors a glimpse into the more than a century of aviation history in Tocumwal.
Museum chief executive officer Matt Henderson said the town’s aviation history had been traditionally focused on the B-24 Liberator, which was operated out of Tocumwal during World War II, but the museum aimed to “broaden the conversation and reflect on the vast array of aviation activity” at Tocumwal.
“We wanted to explore and expose the aviation history here, which is more than just WWII and the B-24, and show that Tocumwal’s aviation history started well before WWII and even after WWII there is still a strong aviation presence here,” Matt said.
Visitors can also enjoy the Drome Café in the museum, offering a quiet place to relax.
The museum and café are at 205 Burma Rd, Tocumwal, NSW, and are open seven days a week, from 10am to 4pm.
Entry is $15 for adults and $10 for children between the ages of six and 10, as well as pensioners. A family pass is $45 for two adults and three children.
