Estrella Warbird Museum
Adopting a name to memorialize the World War II Estrella Army Air Force Base, that which is now Paso Robles Municipal Airport, the Museum was chartered as a not-for-profit California corporation in 1992, and 501(c)3 accreditation soon followed to establish us with the US Departments of Navy and Air Force, as well as the state of California, as an organization approved to receive surplus aircraft and other government properties.
They are dedicated to the restoration and preservation of military aircraft, military vehicles and memorabilia to those who flew and worked on military aircraft. Their approach, however, is not to glorify conflict but rather to make a future generation aware of the fact our way of life does not come without sacrifice.
On July 19th, 2009, The Estrella WarBirds Museum added a new facility, The Woodland Automobile Display Building, which preserves yet another chapter of history, automobile racing.
