VERY interesting and well put together.
The Stafford Air & Space Museum is a Smithsonian-affiliated institution. We are named in honor of Lt. General Thomas P. Stafford, veteran astronaut of the Project Gemini & Apollo space programs and a Weatherford, OK native. Filled with artifacts from the earliest days of mankind’s first flights, to the manned spaceflight programs of the “Space Race” era between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, to the future of aerospace, the Museum has something for everyone! The museum houses 63,000 square feet of exhibits and showcases thousands of artifacts, including a General Dynamics F-16 “Fighting Falcon,” the actual Fixed-Base Simulator used to train all 135 Shuttle Program crews, a ten-story Titan II rocket, a moon rock returned to Earth by the crew of Apollo 17 and General Stafford’s actual, flown Gemini VI spacecraft. You’ll be amazed at the history you can find under one roof. Open 7 days a week/360 days a year. Closed on New Year's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve & Day.

Incredible amount of priceless artifacts.
Who would think that a 'space museum' in the center of the USA would be so comprehensive and unique. General Stafford really used his influence and his personal collection to provide a worthwhile experience for anyone visiting this museum. Displays are clear, concise, begin at the beginning with a Wright Brothers glider and progress to the Saturn rockets. There is an actual capsule that made it to space!!! You can stand two feet from it!

A Must See Aviation Museum! It Will Not Disappoint.
It would be impossible to pick a favorite part. The life of General Stafford was informative, well laid out, interesting with wonderful artifacts. photos, and personal memorabilia. Then you enter the beginning of flight. I was impressed, astounded and excited. It was a walk through the beginning of flight to the modern era of space . Real life displays and interactive videos were engaging, enlightening, and exciting. The museum was well laid out, clean, and the staff was very friendly and informative. I have been to NASA in Houston many times and I enjoyed this museum as much as NASA. I am excited to revisit the museum next year when the new additions and changes will have been completed. It is a must see if you are anywhere close to Weatherford, Oklahoma.
