Reviews of Glenn L Martin Aviation Museum (Museum)

Bottom line: if you're ever near Baltimore and like airplanes, you should visit. The Martin Aviation museum is THE place for those interested in the history of Martin's beautiful aircraft. The museum is constantly evolving and looking to expand, so don't expect a Smithsonian style arrangement. If you want to see the aircraft, make sure to call ahead. Regardless, the exhibit alone (with some incredible tank and wind tunnel models from the seaplanes) is well worth the trip. As a bonus, you can see the A-10s from the Maryland ANG and the old seaplane ramps from when Seamasters and Mariners would taxi in and out of the Martin lagoon.

This is a small airport with a quaint little museum. Small admission price for a trip back in aviation history.

Magnificent aviation museum! A buddy and I flew into the Martin State Airport where this is housed and walked over - what a packed museum and ramp full of airplanes! WELL WORTH the very low admission price for this private museum open to the public! The volunteers are THE BEST - Glenn and Burnie were outstanding! I really enjoyed this museum - highly recommended!

Great tour today! Really appreciate the time they took to show us the planes and tell us about the history. Will definitely be going back! Thank you!

We went for the train garden they had for the holidays. I wasn't very impressed. It was their first year. Hopefully it gets better. I took a picture and it showed everything in that one picture. My 4 year old liked it. That's what really mattered.

Great Aviation and local history museum.

It's been nine years since my last visit, so hopefully things have changed since then. But both of my visits to this museum, in 2002 and 2007, were frustrated by not being able to see the aircraft exhibits. This museum has two physical locations: part of it occupies a few rooms in what was once the Martin aircraft company administration building, showing pictures and some small artifacts. The other part is perhaps a quarter-mile away down Strawberry Point Road, inside part of the airport's ramp area and fenced off from the road by a locked gate. This is where they keep their aircraft in outdoor storage, and some larger artifacts such as, I understand, the tail that is all that remains of the magnificent P6M SeaMaster jet flying boat. Both of the times I visited, the museum was staffed only by a single person, who could not leave the rooms to give me access to the aircraft display. Now, the heart of any aviation museum is the actual aircraft, so not being able to see them really detracts from the experience. I'm deaf, so could not call while on the road, but based on my experience, I strongly advise you to call a day or two in advance to check on whether or not you can get access to the aircraft display.

Very interesting and I informative. Many displays and vintage aircraft. Glen L. Martin at its Midder River plan well represented as well as it's contribution to WW2.

Brian Sporrer

It was something fun and inexpensive for the family to enjoy together.... Unfortunately it was HOT! All of the volunteers were friendly and helpful.

Cool place

Great walk through history. Located at Martin State Airport, connected to MdANG at Warfield Airbase. The museum centers around The Glenn L. Martin Company (now Lockheed Martin). They also invite the Commemorative Air Force once or twice a year. Great time!

Dathan Watts

Fred Almond

Great history of Martin airplanes and their role from WWII thru the Vietnam war. Commercial aircraft too. An awesome line up of airplanes and helicopters that you can climb into and explore. Very knowledgeable staff and tour guides. Many have actual flight time in the aircraft. Planes are actually restored there by former crew and engineers. Amazing lineup.

Tom & Gretta Germroth

My dad worked at Martin's during the war, it's interesting to see all the exhibits, plus the Commemorative Air Force B24 & B17 are cool.

David Glotfelty

Absolute must see attraction. GLM was the precursor to the American aviation industry.

Jim Milby

A small museum chronicling early aviation and the history of the man and the company he built.

Robert Allen

Lots of exhibits

Sean VanSickle

Lots of history. Volunteers are well informed and very helpful. Visiting flight line of preserved airplanes is a great time.

People were extremely friendly, above and beyond. Was interesting to look at the beautiful planes up and personal and to learn about each planes individual history. Definitely recommend coming here.

Derek Mason

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Be sure to catch both the Open Cockpit days and the runway lineups if you can. Super cool and up closer look at aviation history
