In 1997, WACO Field opened and a historic barn was raised on the property. A second building was completed in 2009.[2][3]

The museum received two airplanes, two land vehicles and other objects on loan from the Ohio Historical Society in 2009.[4]

A theater made from a replica CG-4A glider was completed in 2015.[5]

The museum broke ground on a new Learning Center in September 2017.[6]

The museum acquired the prototype RPT in 2018.[7]

The museum restarted work to complete the interior of the learning center in 2024.[8]
