This compelling story of the civilian female pilots of WWII is amazing. It was shocking to discover that they were not recognized as veterans until the 1970's. An amazing amount of records have been uncovered, despite being buried for years. The museum includes tge Congressional Medal of Honor, period airplanes, first hand historical interviews, and much more. Nice job WASP Museum!

Wonderful little museum, informative on the WASPs, some fun interactive displays. Museum located in a small hangar at the airfield they trained at. Loved the individual histories of the women with their handprints. If in this area please stop!

What an untold tale of the Women Air Service Pilots of WWII. I guess the military boys couldn't stand being second rate to these courageous women who were treated very poorly from start to finish.

It's no stinging insect that's for sure. The WASPs were young women recruited fly non-combat duties during World War II. They trained here in Sweetwater, TX to ferry planes across the country, to tow targets for gunnery practice, and other flying duties in order to free up male pilots for combat. A number died in the service of our country. The museum tells their story.

I learned a lot about the Women Air Service Pilots in this interesting museum. The hangar location adds to the experience. An hour well spent.

I've been to the WASP museum over 20 times. Tour with my work Hoyt House, family friends with an historic piece added every visit. Anytime I'm in the state of Texas I'll make a point to visit the WASP museum.

A wonderful free museum just outside of Sweetwater Texas. We stopped by after reading nice reviews on trip advisor. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about these women that served the country during the war. If you are in the area it's worth stopping by.Ps: hours listed are wrong. The museum opens at 10:00am to 5:00pm Wednesday till Sunday.

This museum provides the history of a little known group of women who provided valuable services to the Army Air Corps during World War II. A knowledgable docent tells the stories of these women, some of whom are still alive. There is a video showing actual training and other activities of these women who rallied to the cause and ferried planes throughout the states during the war when manpower was short. There are also recreations of their barracks room, and the planes in which they trained. Well worth a tripo to Sweetwater.

Here is a place where women shaped history during WW II. Avenger Field was the base where the Wasps were trained to ferry planes around the country to bases, alleviating the need for combat trained pilots to be involved. There is displayed this history in an original hanger that at the 1940's. You will find a nice book store where you can purchase many interesting books that were authored by the women pilots. It's a unique place of history that is worth a visit.

This is a small museum that is dedicated to the women who served during WWII as pilots for the Air Force. They did not fall under the guidelines of military service at that time but later did get the recognition and awards for the job they did. It is very interesting to see as the ladies not only flew the planes around the US but also flew planes that pulled a target so the men could qualify for combat by shooting at the target.
