Fagen Fighters WWII Museum

The Fagen Fighters WWII Museum is an aviation museum located in Granite Falls, Minnesota.

History

Museum founder Ron Fagen bought his first warbird, a P-51, in 1994. Then, in 1998, he established Fagen Fighters Restoration. However, the museum itself was only founded in 2012.

In May 2016, the museum unveiled a boxcar used in the deportation of Jews during the Holocaust it had acquired from Georgenthal, Germany.

A tornado that struck the airport in July 2016 damaged a number of other buildings, but did not affect the museum.

In 2017, the museum purchased a collection of spare parts that belonged to collector Jay Wisler.

The museum opened a fourth hangar featuring U.S. Navy aircraft in December 2023.

In 2025, the museum acquired an A-24 from the Lone Star Flight Museum. Later that year it acquired a P-39.

Facilities

The museum is made up of four display hangars, a restoration hangar, a reproduction Quonset hut, and a reproduction control tower.
