Erie Ottawa Regional Airport adds Museum and Restaurant
Many of the locals of Marblehead Penninsula are quite familiar with the “Tin Goose.” Though she’s a relic from a bygone day, fascination continues to turn eyes and faces skyward. The airport is located in the quaint and tiny burg of Gypsum, which is in itself a historical area. The inception of the dream to open a museum at this tiny airport goes back to the pilot James Parker, whose love of aeronautics gave the dream its take-off in 1995. Sadly, Parker died shortly after the EEA “Tin Goose” Chapter was established.
Recently, thanks to a donation from the George V. Woodling Foundation the south east corner of the airport is getting a facelift. A brand new historical museum is under construction and is slated to open this summer. Liberty Aviation Museum’s flying B-25 bomber from WWII receives a new home there.
In keeping with the historical theme, a fully restored 1950’s diner opens its doors to the public, A restaurant inside will also be open to the public this summer.
