Douglas had many aviation firsts, including the first airplane in the state. Douglas was also one of the stops of the first women's national air race of 1929, the "Women's Air Derby", the race famed aviator Emelia Earhart participated in.

Don't miss this wonderful aviation history exhibit, which will include a life-size replica of the "Douglas Flyer".
