"The NSM is an aviation museum working to preserve the history of motorless flight. We are open 10-5, 7 days a week March through December; closed Monday and Tuesday in January and February with hours 10-4 Wednesday through Sunday."
"It is located directly across from the Harris Hill Soaring Corporation's airfield, with an elevation of 1,709 feet above sea level." "We have expanded greatly since opening at this location in 1978, with an 8,000-square-foot Heritage Hangar, a large archive area and a gift shop which sells many NSM and aviation-related items. "
