The Poplar Grove Vintage Wings & Wheels Museum is dedicated to Pre-WWII transportation history. Located on the Poplar Grove Airport, the museum is on 12 acres and has several early 20th century airplane hangars and automotive garages that have been saved from destruction and relocated to the museum campus where they have been renovated for future generations to enjoy. The museum includes permanent exhibitions on the history of transportation, special exhibits, a research library, gift shop and more. Their mission focuses not only preserving history, but also educating people, and the museum offers a variety of outreach programs to area grade schools, field trips, summer camps, lectures, and a scholarship program, as well as special events throughout the year.
