A Museum dedicated
to Military Aviation History

In 1975, the Michigan Air Guard Historical Association (MAGHA) and the Selfridge Military Air Museum were formed by a group of Air National Guard officers and enlisted personnel. Our mission is to help preserve the heritage and traditions of the Michigan Air National Guard, Selfridge Air National Guard Base, and the units that are/or were stationed there.

A Bigger Vision

Our vision for the future includes the construction of a new Education Center to promote interest and inform visitors about aviation. This vision includes the renovation of the Corsair and the building to house this historic aircraft.

Additionally, we are in the process of raising funds to create a new access gate to the museum which does not require entering Selfridge ANG Base.

This can only be accomplished through both private and public donations.
