Wife and I went to visit the museum and I was amazed at all of the historical pictures and items it had. I was stationed there for about 1.5 yrs and got out. Enjoyed my tour.

The Norton Air Force Base Museum has been showcasing fascinating history related to the base since 2013. The exhibits feature a range of artefacts and photos related to former military and civilian personnel who worked at the base. You can tour the museum on your own or take a guided tour with a veteran who was once stationed at the base.

A small museum that is staffed by knowledgeable and friendly docents. One room with items from the base and history of people that were once stationed there. We also saw a section of the Berlin wall.

I highly recommend going to this place. The staff was very welcoming and made you feel at home. They gave you a personal tour and showed you around. The people that took you on the tour are people who where in the air force and worked and lived on base. They had so much info and made me appreciate what the people who work to help protect us even more

All D.O.D./military functions have been curtailed. The former base operates under the authority of the San Bernardino International Airport Authority (SBIAA). There are no accommodations for your requested overnight stay at the former USAF Base.

How far is the museum from the train station in san Bernardino?

I never looked at taking the train to the museum, or how to get there without having to take a cab. The museum, BTW, is only open on Thursdays and Saturdays from 10am to 2pm, and is located in the old Norton AFB NCO Club building. It's run entirely by volunteers who served at Norton, and doesn't have a lot of funding or traffic to warrant more extensive hours of operation. Still, it is a great opportunity to revisit the history of the base and the 63rd MAW if you were ever stationed there. I was there in the Avionics shop back in the mid 70s. Hope you have an opportunity to visit the museum and I'm sure you will enjoy the experience. Let me know what you think of it when you go! //Steve//
