NAS Wildwood Aviation Museum Cape May County Airport, New Jersey October 2025

The Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum is housed in an authentic World War Two hangar, providing a striking backdrop for photographers. Originally built by the US Navy on Cape May between 1941 and 1942, the hangar was only in active use until 1943. In the mid-1990s, Dr. Joseph Salvatore purchased the then-dilapidated hangar for just $1. In 2022, the museum received a new roof. Its operations are supported by visitor admissions and its role as a popular wedding venue.
