The Stafford Air & Space Museum is a Smithsonian-affiliated institution named in honor of Weatherford native and NASA Astronaut, Lt. General Thomas P. Stafford, a veteran of the Project Gemini and Apollo space programs. Filled with artifacts from the earliest days of mankind’s first flights, to the manned spaceflight programs of the “Space Race” era between the United States and the Soviet Union, to the future aerospace, the Museum has something for everyone! The museum houses one and a half acre of exhibits under roof and showcases thousands of items. With artifacts including a General Dynamics F-16 “Fighting Falcon”, the actual Fixed-Base Simulator used to train all 135 Shuttle Program crews, a ten-story Titan II rocket, a moon rock returned to Earth by the crew of Apollo 17 and General Stafford’s Gemini VI spacecraft, you’ll be amazed at the history you can find under one roof.

We spent 2 hours here after finding this museum on the way to Amarillo. The first part of the museum is a tribute to Gen Stafford. It has his medals, flights, suits, etc. After that you get into the early aviation and rocketry section where they have lots of full size replicas of early aircraft. Then you get into the Mercury, Gemini & Apollo programs where they have quite a bit of actual artifacts. Finally you get into the modern section where they have many actual artifacts including s space shuttle engine and a couple of real but disarmed nuclear warheads. It's definitely worth your time to stop and spend an hour or two.

My husband and I visited this special little museum today. We were warmly greeted by volunteers Carleen and Judy when we arrived. Lots of Weatherford area history including several vehicles. My husband got finished looking at the displays before I did, and when I finished I found him sitting with Carleen and Judy chatting like they had known each other for a long time. The little diner where Elvis ate is a must see. I highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.
