An Evening Where History Meets Innovation
Step into an unforgettable evening at the Owls Head Transportation Museum, where the spirit of early aviation meets the innovation of modern space exploration.
Surrounded by historic aircraft and inspired by the pioneers who shaped our world, guests will experience a night of connection, discovery, and celebration.
This year’s gala, From Earth to Orbit, honors the journey of human ingenuity—from the first powered flight to the vast frontier beyond our atmosphere.
A Century of Courage and Resilience
Join us for an unforgettable evening at the Owls Head Transportation Museum as we celebrate innovation, exploration, and the future of American ingenuity.
This year’s gala, From Earth to Orbit, will transform the museum into an immersive experience inspired by the journey from early aviation to space exploration—honoring the pioneers who first took flight and those who continue to push the boundaries of discovery.
Proceeds from the Gala support the Museum’s education programs, inspiring curiosity, critical thinking, and hands-on learning for the next generation of innovators.
The Museum’s 1923 Fokker C-IVa—now over a century old and the only operational aircraft of its kind—continues to fly, connecting generations through the living history of aviation.
Innovation is the thread that connects generations — carrying the courage of early aviators to the ambition of modern space exploration.
