Worth a stop, even when the Museum's interior exhibits are not open.
Vintage Wings and Wheels Museum的点评
点评:The most prominent of its many hidden treasures is the majestic four-story pre-WWII Art Deco style WPA airport hangar. Vintage Wings and Wheels members relocated and restored this metal siding over a steel structural frame accented by sandstone veneer after disassembling and moving it from Waukesha, Wisconsin, which was slated for demolition in the 1990s.
Equally impressive is being able to drive into its Sonoco gas station, stand in the shadow of the 16-foot bronze statue of aviation legend, Elrey B. Jeppesen, and the 1930s era prefabricated Slim's Garage.
We would have loved it even more if the museum were open, sadly many of today's historical places lack adequate funding to adequately staff far too many awesome museums.
翻译:在其众多隐藏的宝藏中,最引人注目的是雄伟的四层二战前装饰艺术风格的 WPA 机场机库。Vintage Wings and Wheels 的成员将其从威斯康星州沃基肖拆卸并搬运过来,重新安置并修复了金属壁板,覆盖在以砂岩饰面为特色的钢结构框架上,该机库原定于 20 世纪 90 年代拆除。
同样令人印象深刻的是能够驾车进入其 Sonoco 加油站,站在 16 英尺高的航空传奇人物 Elrey B. Jeppesen 青铜雕像和 20 世纪 30 年代预制 Slim's Garage 的阴影下。
如果博物馆开放,我们会更喜欢它,遗憾的是,当今许多历史遗迹缺乏足够的资金来为太多令人惊叹的博物馆配备足够的工作人员。
