1. The Aviation Wing
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 7 reviews
The Aviation Wing is a growing collection of aircraft displayed on a 15 acre campus conveniently located 4.5 miles west of I-75, this museum highlights the impact the aviation industry has had on our local culture. We will show how aviation catapulted our fairly typical, small, Southern agricultural community into the industrial age and how Cobb County has impacted global events. In development of this facility, we also seek to interest America’s youth in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) disciplines through exposure to the science and physics of aeronautics and astronautics. Check out our Facebook page, @aviationwingofmarietta or come see us in person. We are open for visitors on Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM and on Sundays from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

The aviation wing was an excellent experience into the history of Lockheed Martin aviation. The volunteer staff of both veteran and Lockheed former employees were knowledgeable well spoken and eager to tell the history of both airplanes and jets on the exhibit and of their own stories and the places they had been. My twin 4 yr old GRANDBOYS were in awe. They didn't want to leave after being there over 3 hours.

This museum is small but our 4 and 2 year old really enjoyed it. The old trucks are so cool to see and the museum is not difficult to access as several have commented. The GPS took us right to it and we parked across the street. The firemen were very kind to my children and let them climb inside their trucks. They have restrooms there and everyone is very friendly. You cannot climb in or on antique trucks, which is understandable. Will go back in a few years.

We love film history and this museum had fantastic memorabilia from one of the greatest films of all time. There were a lot of items pertaining to the premiere in Atlanta in 1939. Also a lot of production items like original set designs, scripts, costumes. Actress Ann Rutherford donated items from her role in the film. Lots about Margaret Mitchell who wrote the book. The building and grounds are stunning. Easy parking.
