The K. I. Sawyer Heritage Air Museum is a military aviation museum located at the Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport near Marquette, Michigan focused on the history of K. I. Sawyer Air Force Base.
History
[edit]The museum was founded in 1993 by the Air Force Association Lake Superior Chapter 283 to preserve a number of aircraft on display at K. I. Sawyer Air Force Base following an announcement that the base would close. Without a sponsoring organization, the aircraft would be transferred to other locations by the Air Force. The museum was originally located in a gymnasium, but later moved to the Silver Wings Recreation Center.[1][2]
The museum dedicated a new memorial in 2023.[3]
