The importance of the Kansas Aviation Museum building to the glory days of Kansas aviation cannot be overstated. Its grand art-deco style appeals both to the aviation community and to anyone interested in historic preservation.
The Kansas Aviation Hall of Fame preserves the memory of extraordinary citizens of Kansas who have made contributions to aviation of statewide or national significance.
Dozens of talented, dedicated and highly skilled volunteers donate countless hours of their time restoring aircraft so they can take their place telling the story of Kansas aviation. Restoration projects range from the earliest production aircraft to the much revered Beechcraft Bonanza.
Our archives are a gold mine of aviation history for the United States and the world. We have original documents, photographs, negatives, drawings, periodicals and blueprints of many historic aircraft.

Step into the Wild West with "Mystery in Dusty Hollow"
Get ready for an unforgettable evening of intrigue, deception, and a touch of frontier flair! The quaint town of Dusty Hollow invites you to the annual Frontier Fellowship Dinner at the historic Silver Spur Hotel. Come for the lively banquet and mingle with the colorful residents of Dusty Hollow—but beware, as secrets brew and tensions rise, not everyone will make it through the night alive.
When a guest is found dead, the celebration takes a chilling turn. As dinner is served, you’ll be immersed in a tangled web of lies, love affairs, and hidden motives. It’s up to YOU to unravel the mystery, connect the clues, and discover who committed this heinous crime.
Dust off your boots, don your best Western attire, and join us for a night of laughter, intrigue, and deduction. Will justice prevail, or will the culprit ride off into the sunset? The truth lies in your hands. Reserve your place at the table, and let the mystery begin!
