Evergeen Launches
Space Museum in June
The Evergreen Aviation Museum is famous for the world’s largest wooden flying boat, the Howard Hughes’ Spruce Goose, and the world’s fastest aircraft ever built, the SR-71 Blackbird, but soon visitors will also enjoy another world class addition in Spring 2008 - a new space facility.
The facility, scheduled to open June 6, 2008, will feature a 35,000-square-foot space gallery that will include dozens of authentic space artifacts, full-scale replicas of spacecraft and interactive exhibits and simulators all used to tell the story of spaceflight.
The centerpiece of the new facility will be a Titan II SLV missile. With this new exhibit, guests will be able to participate in a hands-on missile launch experience. The museum also plans to host a series of educational programs and space camps.
The Evergreen Space Museum is the largest space museum ever to be constructed on the West Coast. The 120,000 square foot facility will compliment the museum campus and reflect the same design as the home of the famous Spruce Goose.
