The museum
The Liberty Aviation Museum preserves Lake Erie aviation and operating historic aircraft, from interwar passenger transports to Second World War bombers and flying boats. Restoration work and demonstrations are an important part of the visitor experience.

Aircraft and collections: Ford Tri-Motors, operating warbirds, vintage airline travel and aircraft restoration. Not every aircraft in the fleet is continuously stationed in the museum hangar, and the restored and unfinished Ford Tri-Motor projects are separate aircraft. Confirm the day’s aircraft location before visiting.
Listed aircraft are selected source-attributed records, not a promise that every item is accessible on the date of a visit. Museum ownership, active flying, restoration, replicas, and partial airframes are distinguished where evidence permits. Confirm visitor arrangements directly with the institution.
