The Glenn L. Martin Maryland Aviation Museum is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization located at Martin State Airport in Middle River, Maryland, a few miles east of I-695, E of Baltimore. It educates visitors through the use of exhibits, artifacts, archival materials, and stories, about aviation in Maryland over the last 100 years, with an emphasis on the Glenn L. Martin Co. and now Lockheed Martin Co. history.[1]
Mission
The Glenn L. Martin Maryland Aviation Museum collects, preserves, displays, and interprets historic aviation artifacts and artwork to inform, educate, and inspire our visitors.
History
The museum opened at Martin State Airport in 1993 and mostly tells the story of the Glenn L. Martin Co. and the Lockheed Martin Co. (since 1995).
Between the years 1909 and 1960, The Glenn L. Martin Company produced over 80 different types of aircraft totaling more than 11,000 planes[2] , including dozens of Boeing B-29s (50 of which were the "Atomic Bombers" including Enola Gay and Bockscar). Beginning in the 1950s, the company ventured into missiles, space and electronics and, since the Lockheed merger in 1995, has now reestablished itself as a prominent aerospace manufacturer[3].
Moving from Los Angeles to Cleveland and then to Baltimore in 1928, Glenn L. Martin bought over 1,260 acres in the Baltimore suburb of Middle River and built some of the most modern aircraft manufacturing plants of its time. Huge facilities sprang up including an airport (with hangars and terminal) and several communities that still exist.
