Massey Air Museum

The Massey Air Museum is a living airport-museum reminiscent of rural airports of a bygone era. Activities include antique aircraft restoration, annual fly-ins, EAA Young Eagles events, and aviation camaraderie. Experience the sights, sounds and smells of aviation as it was in its earlier days.

The Massey Air Museum has it’s home at the Massey Aerodrome, a grass airfield on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and the dream of four gentlemen with a love of aviation.

In the space of a few months, they transformed corn fields into a working public use airport with a 3000′ grass runway which opened in 2001. In 2015, after the loss of two of the founding partners, the airport partnership was reorganized with the addition of five new partners who are committed to following the grassroots tradition at Massey.

The Museum was officially begun in 2002 as a non-profit organization dedicated to education, and preservation of matters relating to grassroots aviation in this country.

The museum is not just a museum in the traditional sense. It is also a “living museum”. That is, it is operated just like one of the thousands of small town airports of the Thirties, Forties and Fifties – so many of which have been closed in recent years due to urban sprawl. At Massey, we have turned that around by creating a new airport which once was farmland.

Most of the aircraft are maintained in flying order and flown regularly over the farms and streams of Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The aerodrome is always open to fly-in or drive-in traffic, so stop by and say hello.
