US Southwest Soaring Museum, Aviation museum along Route 66 in Moriarty, United States.
The US Southwest Soaring Museum displays over 50 gliders, models, and aviation artifacts in a dedicated building along the historic highway.
The institution moved to its current location in 2006 after operating at Moriarty airport since 1996, when founder George Applebay initiated the project.
The museum serves as an educational center where visitors learn about physical sciences and mathematics through hands-on exhibits related to aviation principles.
From May through October, the museum welcomes visitors Monday to Saturday between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with winter hours requiring advance reservations.
The collection includes rare aircraft such as the Applebay Zia motorglider, DFS Olympia, FFA Diamant 16.5M, and a replica of the 1902 Wright Glider.
