Frank, The museum is in a WWII Navy blimp hangar.A base for anti-submarine patrols. After the war it was purchased by the Tillamook Cheese Co. And was a cheese factory up until the 60s or 70s? And now an Air Museum. Very impressive building. There were two of them. I believe the other one burned down.
Another bit of history, is that not too far from there, at Cannon Beach. Is the sight of the only casualties inflicted by the Japanese on the U.S. mainland. A minister and his family out on a Sunday picnic came across a Japanese balloon bomb. The bomb detonated killing the Mother and I think, both of the children.
