The Commemorative Air Force Airbase Georgia, Peachtree City, GA, took part in Georgia History Festival’s Super Museum Sunday for the first time on Sunday, Feb 8, welcoming hundreds of visitors to its World War II flying museum in Peachtree City. The free, one-day program, presented by the Georgia Historical Society, brought approximately 450 people through the doors and introduced many of them to the organization’s work preserving and sharing aviation history.
According to the museum, 378 attendees signed in as part of family or community groups. For most of those visitors, it was their first time at Airbase Georgia. Several families traveled more than an hour to attend, a sign that the museum is drawing interest well beyond its immediate area. Families with school-age children made up more than half of the crowd. Hands-on attractions such as the Link Trainer and the World War II ball turret were especially popular. Volunteers spent the day answering questions and speaking with guests about wartime aviation, local history, and the broader mission of the Commemorative Air Force.
“Airbase Georgia was pleased to join the Georgia Historical Society and museums across Georgia in making Super Museum Sunday a success,” said Mark Richards, Airbase Georgia leader. “We are proud to have welcomed families from across the state and beyond, and to have helped our neighbors connect more deeply with their WWII history legacy. Events like this remind us why preserving and sharing these stories matters.” For more information and to support the Commemorative Air Force Airbase Georgia, click on this link: airbasegeorgia.org.
