Great place to explore about history of Naval base, airships, USS Arkon, USS Macon and more. Place is not very big, probably spread across 5 to 6 rooms, but packs lot of great historical content like photos, books, posters, uniform display, cockpits etc. One room was filled with lot of books, for interested visitors to sit down and read. Volunteers were very knowledgeable and helpful, and spent lot of time with young kids in explaining about key facts. We got dog tags for kids for $5 and it was pretty cool. Also make sure to utilize the hourly tour of retired air crafts that are houses in a fenced display outside of the museum. Volunteers give tour every 1 hour. Overall great museum and stress free place ud83dudc4dud83dude0a
The Moffett Field historical society museum is a small museum run by a dedicated core of volunteers. The volunteers are usually ex-military people or from military oriented families. The museum was well-staffed when I was there. There were many people working on the displays. The displays are a selection of well-rounded memorabilia and some simulator cockpits and actual flight simulators. I think the primary audience for this museum are people who are interested in the United States Navy. There are a large number of uniforms and equipment from various decades. There are a large number of ship and aircraft models. There is also a fairly large library of written material. I did not go outside and see the aircraft that they have on display. The museum staff is also interested in connecting with people who would like to donate their time or historical items.
A lot of great Moffett history. I have lived around here all my life and have never been here before. It was well worth the visit.
Small exhibition but very interesting about Moffett history, also very nice staff. They are very old, perhaps more than 70 years ago but they are very nice and knowledgeable
Great place if you like vintage planes and lots of history. The history of Moffett Field is fascinating. Lot's happened there over the past 50 years.
