Volunteers operate this wonderful museum, on the grounds of the Brampton Flying Club. Dedicated to preserving the airplanes and the history of the Great War.
The largest building, the hangar, features the planes, the workshop, and the current restoration in progress. All planes are either in fully operational flying condition, or undergoing restoration.
The second building houses the museum. The collection of artwork, mementos, equipment, and dioramas helps to explain the history of flight in the Great War.

The Museum will be open 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 pm. Saturday, Sunday and statutory holidays from the Victoria Day long weekend in May until the Labour Day weekend in September.

The second Saturday in September is the highlight of the year, with a free open house, flying demonstrations and vintage aircraft from across North America coming to show their skills.
