Most People Don’t Even Know This Little-Known Destination In New Jersey Even Exists

New Jersey is a small state with a lot of history, and that means one thing - some amazing museums to capture this history! A lot of our museums are truly one of a kind - how many other states do you think have a Doo-Wop Museum? - but there are some amazing museums that many people don't even know exist. One such underrated museum in New Jersey is the Aviation Hall of Fame in Teterboro. New Jersey has played a key role in the race to the skies - both in the early going, in wartime, and even in the Space Race. Not only are key documents and tributes to the men and women who made it possible kept at this museum, but so are many of the historic aircraft they rode in! This museum is a must-visit for any aviation buffs, and it's open for visitors now.

Located near the Teterboro Airport, the NJ Aviation Hall of Fame Museum is a great spot for aviation lovers.

The indoor museum is small, but has a massive collection of artifacts and documents from decades of history.

The Hall of Fame of the title is a great way to get a look at some of the names that made it all possible.

Through the museum, you can get an up-close look at historic aircraft that are now on display.

Some of the larger aircraft that have been dismantled have key components on display, offering a rare up-close look at how they operate.

There's even a significant section devoted to NJ's role in getting the space program off the ground.

The best time to come to the museum, though, is definitely Open Cockpit Day when tours are offered of some of the large aircraft outside.

You'll get a look at sleek military aircraft - as well as some unique aircraft you never knew existed!
