This museum has a lot of history regarding Barksdale Air Force Base and the 8th Air Force. There are displays of uniforms work during various wars, a wide array of air planes to look at and some movies to watch. Bring your ID. Don't try to go on Sunday unless you have an airmen as a sponsor. It is a fun, free informative time! Kids and adults alike will enjoy it!

Mainly photos. Some small exhibits. However, if you are ever a little into this type of thing, it is worth going. The aircraft static display is outstanding! Many aircraft.
