LONDONDERRY, N.H. — To accommodate growing interest, the Aviation Museum of N.H. is expanding its public schedule from three days to five days each week.
Starting Wednesday, March 5, 2025, the museum will be open to visitors Wednesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m.
Until now, the museum has been open to the public Friday through Sunday.
The expanded schedule nearly doubles the amount of time the Aviation Museum is open to the public each week, from 15 to 27 hours.
“As a non-profit, we’re here to serve the public — and we do that by being open,” said Jeff Rapsis, the museum’s executive director.
The new schedule will be celebrated by a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, March 5 at 10 a.m. The public is invited.
The museum, operated by the N.H. Aviation Historical Society, aims to preserve the region’s aviation heritage, and also to inspire today’s young people to become tomorrow’s aerospace professionals.
More than 100 volunteers help guide visitors through the museum, manage its historic archive and collection, and participate in its youth aviation education outreach programs.

This is a great museum. with a nice collection of aircraft, artifacts, and exhibits focusing on New England’s rich aviation heritage, including service in the World Wars..
It also has a nice flight simulator which provides a delightful learning experience for youth and adults alike.
I visited last year, flying Southwest Airlines from New Mexico to MHT. My son and his granddaughter picked me up and we spent a couple of hours at the museum before heading on up to Vermont. My granddaughter had a blast flying the simulator over the low mountains and farms northeast of MHT! We’ll be back.
The museum is housed in the old airport terminal building at Manchester Airport, MHT, so you can fly in or drive in. Parking is free. See the website for full directions.
PS – the Airport Diner is on Brown Avenue a short drive or Uber away, in case you get hungry and want to check out an extremely popular local eatery.
Three cheers for the volunteers of the New Hampshire Aviation Historical Society!
