Silent Wings Museum
Educational Tours
The Silent Wings
Museum is excited to offer tours to school and
educational groups. By reserving an educational
tour, school groups can come and experience a
guided visit centered on sharing the history of
the World War II Glider Pilot Program, perfect
for science and history curriculums. Students
will walk through the combat gallery, an
interactive space set up to look like a real
WWII war zone, view a short film on the history
of the Glider Pilot Program, explore a Pilot’s
Footlocker, to see and touch the uniform of WWII
Glider Pilots, and have the opportunity to look
inside a full-sized Glider Plane. Dependent upon
the age group and desired curriculum, students
can then participate in one of many hands-on
activities, such as a Museum Scavenger Hunt,
paper airplane making, Aviation Bingo, a Classic
Military Posters Floor-Sized Memory Game, a
moderated WWII Group Discussion, and more
activities are being developed daily.
