Look… up in the sky! It’s a bird… it’s a plane… it’s Superman! Here in Northeast Ohio, it could be any of the above, as our region is the birthplace of Superman… and it’s also the home state of the Wright Brothers, who spearheaded the development of aviation. Today, this achievement doesn’t feel so far away thanks to incredible air museums in Northeast Ohio. While we do have one in Cleveland, we’re going to take a virtual visit to another fascinating air museum about one hour south. Buckle up, because on this adventure you’re going to discover that the sky isn’t the limit… it’s just the beginning of an epic adventure.

Welcome to MAPS Air Museum in Green, Ohio!

The museum was incorporated in 1990, and the following years would be filled with growth. Today, there’s always something to see… from aircraft to artifacts related to the people that flew them.

While you’ll see many flawlessly preserved aircraft, you may also have an opportunity to see things that are actively being repaired.

There’s a great variety of color amidst the collections at MAPS Air Museum, and the art on historic aircraft will knock your socks off to this day.

While the aircraft are the main draw at this museum, there’s a wide variety of exhibits to explore.

The military collection includes uniforms stretching back as far as the war of 1812… and that’s just one piece of interest in this large museum!

The MAPS Air Museum is closed Mondays and on select dates for events, but you can swing by throughout the remaining six days of the week during select hours.

There’s so much to see here that the staff and volunteers suggest you budget a minimum of two hours for your visit.

Keep in mind that some displays are outside, so you’ll want to dress appropriately for the weather.

You can find this museum at 2260 International Pkwy, North Canton, OH 44720.
