Heritage in Flight Museum

Aircraft fans will find the Heritage in Flight Museum in Lincoln, IL, on the grounds of Logan County Airport. It sits less than a mile off the old road, which makes it a simple side trip for travelers who enjoy aircraft and flying history. Restrooms are on site, and the museum is listed as wheelchair accessible and suitable for kids, so it works for mixed-age groups on a road trip.

What is Heritage in Flight Museum?

The museum is devoted to aviation and is set right at a county airport, so the setting is part of the visit. The facts on file do not list specific aircraft or exhibits, so check the museum's own site before you go.
