Sioux City History and Culture by Bicycle Part 183; Transportation and Aviation Museum

Soon a new Transportation and Aviation Museum will be opening up in Sioux City. On September 11, 2001 the old museum clsoed because of the terrorist attacks. The new building is located on Expedition Cir. near the Sioux Gateway Airport. The prior museum was on the 185th Air National Guard Base. The exhibits are in storage awaiting their new home with some of the large exhibits located outside the new building. The new 30,000 square foot facility will inlcude exhbit space, office, computer room and classroom. I will post more on the new museum building once it is complete and open to the public.

On Saturday August 29, there was a public Cornerstone Laying Ceremony conducted by the Grand Lodge of Iowa for the new museum. I was both proud and honored to be a part of it.
