  Thanks for the review. Here at WAAAM we do our best to have something that can engage anyone and everyone - fortunately transportation history is a very big topic so we can have a large number of interesting side items in addition to our airplanes and automobiles.

  Thanks for the review. Here at the museum we often like to joke that the acronym of our name, WAAAM short for the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum, is actually the sound effect people would use when they get in to our exhibit halls if life were scripted like a cartoon. Many who come late in the day choose to quickly go through just so they don't miss out.

  Thank you for reviewing. For some folks, transportation history seems obtuse and out there but here at WAAAM we do our best to have visitors understand what they are seeing so that they do not get overwhelmed by the size of the collection. As an added bonus, having a still-operational collection helps bring the place alive too.

  Thanks for the review. Here at WAAAM we have just over 2.5 acres of indoor display space for our collection. In addition to this area we also have several other storage hangars and a restoration shop on site but these are only open during special events like our Second Saturdays.

  Thank you for reviewing. Occasionally some folks do have problems finding the museum despite us being only 3 miles from the freeway. One of the best aids we have found is to remind people that we are right at an airport and therefore they should look for a large flat space with no trees (which happens to be just on the edge of town). Some days our 4 signs (if your coming from either Portland or the Dalles) just don't seem to cut it.

  Thank you for the review. Many people have a hard time believing in the quality and scope of the collection we have at WAAAM before they visit us. Our cars, planes, motorcycles and more ensure that there is something for everyone to enjoy. The Model T Driving School is also a fantastic way for us to really remind people that here at WAAAM we have living history.

  Thanks for the review. We love showing people transportation history - this includes not only our airplanes and automobiles but also the associated artifacts that people would have brought with them, made an impact on their travels, or enabled them to get out there and enjoy the road or sky even more. Our old artifacts are part of what help make the museum interesting for all ages.

  Thank you for the review. Word of mouth is the number one way people find out about WAAAM so thanks to your friends for telling you and thanks to you for telling all the folks on Tripadvisor!

  Thank you for the review. We love keeping our airplanes and automobiles in flying and driving condition because it helps people appreciate the history a bit more. It takes a lot less imagination to think about history (or driving from Portland to Hood River on the old highway) when you know what it is like to ride in a Model T or other antique or classic vehicle.

  Thanks for the review. It is important for us to try an impart in kids an appreciation for all the "old stuff" found in the museum. Our interactive learning center is a great way to help engage them in experiencing first hand some of the odd quirks that come with the technology of the past.
