America’s First Flying Museum of Antique Aircraft, The Living Legacy of Cole Palen and the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome

The Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in Red Hook, New York, is more than a museum—it’s a living celebration of aviation’s earliest days. Founded by visionary pilot Cole Palen, the Aerodrome preserves the thrill and romance of flight through authentic aircraft, live airshows, and dedicated volunteers who keep history soaring high over the Hudson Valley.
