Springfield-Branson National Airport unveils new history exhibit
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The Springfield-Branson National Airport (SGF) and History Museum on the Square teamed up to create a new exhibit that is now on display at the airport. The exhibit, titled 'History of Aviation in the Ozarks,' is now open to the public and can be viewed in the terminal lobby, near the airline ticket counters. Steel, aluminum tariffs expected to impact Springfield consumers SGF says the three-panel display showcases the many stories of the Ozarks' aviation and cultural history. The exhibit features thousands of photos and artifacts reviewed by the History Museum team, such as photos of Harry Truman, pilots in Phelps Grove Park in 1916 and numerous Ozark Airlines milestones. 'Since its opening in 2009, the Springfield-Branson National Airport has served as a destination in itself for the Ozarks,' said Brian Weiler, director of aviation at SGF. 'But while we are a modern airport, there have been decades of aviation history in our region that led the airport to be what it is today. We honor the work of the aviators and pilots before us with this new exhibit and partnership.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
