The purpose of the foundation is to organize and support “living history” events that enable Americans to learn more about their heritage through direct participation. The original focus of the foundation was transportation related events such as antique car rallies, hill climbs, carriage and sleigh rides, and a winter ice cutting festival in Stow, MA area. During the mid-eighties these activities were broadened to include aviation related events, such as air shows, barnstorming, historical reunions, and joint museum displays on a nationwide level.
From their headquarters in Stow, MA, the Foundation coordinates the “Wings of Freedom” and “Vietnam Memorial” flights and acts as a clearinghouse of information on issues of both aviation and history. The Stow facilites include an aviation museum and a vintage automobile and race car collection, which are open by appointment for group tours from May through October. |
