Evergreen Space Museum
Our Campground in McMinnville was right next to the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum. The little shuttle that you see to the left will come over to the RV park and give you a ride to the museum. It is called the Enterprise as the Space Museum will be getting the Enterprise Space Shuttle to add to their collection. When we had been in McMinnville two years ago we did go into the aviation side so this time we went to see the space building. It is incredible with all the space memorabilia that they have. The lunar landing craft and vehicle are just replicas. The museum tells the story if the beginning of the race to space and to the moon. A great place to spend an afternoon.
The Howard Hughes Spruce Goose aircraft is over in the Aviation building along with many other aircraft types. If you are ever in this area it is well worth your while
