Warhawk Air Museum

The Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa displays restored military aircraft from different conflicts, along with uniforms, medals, and documents from service members. The exhibits are spread across multiple halls, each focusing on aircraft and equipment from specific time periods.

The museum was established in 1989 and gradually expanded its collection from World War II aircraft and objects to include artifacts from later conflicts. This growth reflects how the institution developed to preserve aviation history across multiple decades.

The museum preserves personal stories and objects that connect visitors to the lives of service members from different eras. Walking through the halls, you see letters, photographs, and everyday items that soldiers carried with them during their service.

You can view aircraft up close and explore personal stories through the exhibitions on display. Plan to spend several hours walking through the different halls to fully experience the collections and read the detailed accounts on view.

A restored P-47 aircraft called Dottie Mae, recovered from a lake in Austria, stands as a centerpiece of the collection. The story of its rescue and restoration shows the effort involved in bringing these machines back to life.
