Bottom line: if you're ever near Baltimore and like airplanes, you should visit.
As a bonus, you can see the A-10s from the Maryland ANG and the old seaplane ramps from when Seamasters and Mariners would taxi in and out of the Martin lagoon.
Magnificent aviation museum! A buddy and I flew into the Martin State Airport where this is housed and walked over - what a packed museum and ramp full of airplanes! WELL WORTH the very low admission price for this private museum open to the public! The volunteers are THE BEST - Glenn and Burnie were outstanding! I really enjoyed this museum - highly recommended!
It's been nine years since my last visit, so hopefully things have changed since then. But both of my visits to this museum, in 2002 and 2007, were frustrated by not being able to see the aircraft exhibits. This museum has two physical locations: part of it occupies a few rooms in what was once the Martin aircraft company administration building, showing pictures and some small artifacts. The other part is perhaps a quarter-mile away down Strawberry Point Road, inside part of the airport's ramp area and fenced off from the road by a locked gate. This is where they keep their aircraft in outdoor storage, and some larger artifacts such as, I understand, the tail that is all that remains of the magnificent P6M SeaMaster jet flying boat. Both of the times I visited, the museum was staffed only by a single person, who could not leave the rooms to give me access to the aircraft display. Now, the heart of any aviation museum is the actual aircraft, so not being able to see them really detracts from the experience. I'm deaf, so could not call while on the road, but based on my experience, I strongly advise you to call a day or two in advance to check on whether or not you can get access to the aircraft display.
Lots of history. Volunteers are well informed and very helpful. Visiting flight line of preserved airplanes is a great time.
It was something fun and inexpensive for the family to enjoy together.... Unfortunately it was HOT! All of the volunteers were friendly and helpful.
The Martin Aviation museum is THE place for those interested in the history of Martin's beautiful aircraft. The museum is constantly evolving and looking to expand, so don't expect a Smithsonian style arrangement. If you want to see the aircraft, make sure to call ahead. Regardless, the exhibit alone (with some incredible tank and wind tunnel models from the seaplanes) is well worth the trip.
