Western New Mexico Aviation Heritage Museum

The Western New Mexico Aviation Heritage Museum is a small aviation museum located at the Grants-Milan airport (KGNT) in Grants, New Mexico. It was dedicated on June 9, 2012.^[3]

It commemorates the Los Angeles to Amarillo segment of the Transcontinental Air Transport, an early air mail provider.

It also has a concrete arrow which helped aviators find the correct direction to continue in.^[4]^[2]
