Aerospace Museum of California

In 1982 a group of forward thinking, dedicated volunteers chartered an aviation museum that was to become known as the McClellan Aviation Museum. The Museum officially opened in 1986 and has hosted over 600,000 visitors on McClellan AFB in Sacramento, CA. However, in 2001 McClellan AFB closed and another group of dedicated volunteers became the proud "owners" of the museum. It was converted to a private museum and achieved the honor of being chartered by the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. In November 2005, we completed the transformation of this historic aviation museum when we changed our name to the Aerospace Museum of California. We also refocused our mission is to emphasize education and aerospace science while continuing to display the proud heritage of aviation and aerospace activities in California’s Capital region.

Sacramento State Science and Space Center

Sacramento State has embarked on an ambitious effort to build a regional center for science and space education – the Science and Space Center. The planned facility will be a laboratory for educating future teachers, as well as an educational attraction to inspire school children to pursue college-level studies in math and science. The center’s state-of-the-art planetarium, as well as workshops and exhibits, will attract 25,000 visitors a year. It will promote the learning and skills our region needs to compete in the modern, global economy.
