HISTORIC TUSKEGEE AIRMEN SITE OPENED:

The National Park Service recently opened the Tuskegee Airmen Historic Site where visitors can learn about the achievements of the more than 10,000 men and women of the "Tuskegee Experience." The Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site museum is housed in the only remaining original hangar at Moton Field.
Interpretive and static displays also record the stories of the civilian pilot training program at Tuskegee Institute, a federally funded program that was the precursor to military pilot training at Moton Field. For more information on the new historic site, visit the National Park Service's Tuskegee Airmen website at: http://www.nps.gov/tuai/.
