[Details/Reserve]
Not all visitors at the Schenectady County Airport are there to travel—many are going to the Empire State Aerosciences Museum, which occupies two of the airport's buildings and a large Airpark. Begun as a way to preserve the history and legacy of aviation in the state of New York, the museum now boasts a collection of over 20 planes, a virtual reality vehicle ride, and thousands of archival photographs and documents. The indoor galleries cover many aspects of the history of aviation, with exhibits on Amelia Earhart, flight during WWI and WWII, and NASA's lunar exploits. There is also a vast research library onsite, featuring many historical documents. All of this in an airport that itself is important to the history of aviation in New York—one of the first landings there was by Charles Lindbergh, and it has variously been an aircraft manufacturing site, an Army Air Force base, and a test flight facility. The museum is ADA compliant and offers accessible parking lots. There is a gift shop onsite. The museum is only open on the weekends; check the website for hours.
