WACO Aircraft Museum - Historic WACO Field

With the help of WACO Historical Society members, many generous donors and supporters, Historic WACO Field opened in 1997. The field consists of a 77 acre site and features a 2200 foot runway (1800 feet usable) south of Troy, Ohio. Historic WACO Field is maintained by WACO volunteers and is constantly receiving upgrades and improvements and we are always in need of additional volunteers to assist in the upkeep of the site.

In 1997 the first building to be erected on WACO Field was a historic 1856 barn relocated to the premises and fully restored thanks to a generous grant provided by the Troy Foundation. A traditional barn raising was held on the site on October 7, 1997 with the help of approximately 300 volunteers from all over the United States. The barn is currently used to house tractors and other maintenance vehicles.

The second building project erected on WACO Field was the 7500 square foot hangar now the home of the WACO Aircraft Museum, museum research library, classroom/conference room and museum offices.

Historic WACO Field also has a radio-controlled aircraft flying field located on site and is the home of the WACO Barnstormers RC Club. We have a separate runway in place specifically designed to accommodate RC aircraft.
