The Glenn L. Martin Maryland Aviation Museum in Middle River announced it has signed a new lease and is expanding. Here is their official statement:
The Glenn L. Martin Maryland Aviation Museum has signed a lease with the Maryland Aviation Administration, MAA, for the former Lockheed Martin Administration 150,000 square foot building and 23 acres of property including 12 acres abutting Dark Head Cove.
The new location, at 2323 Eastern Boulevard, is just around the corner from the museum’s current location and will be named the Maryland Aerospace Heritage Center, MAHC.
This building and acreage will provide ample room for an expanded museum, educational areas, gift shop and aircraft display area as well as an event space, restaurant, office space and aviation education school.
The transfer of property from Lockheed Martin to the State of Maryland will be finalized April 26 and renovations needed to convert the building to its new purposes will begin then.
The Museum will continue its usual operations at Martin State Airport until the Grand Opening at the new location. The Museum would appreciate your support by your membership and donations.
