The Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum is a non-profit museum that preserves and presents a broad collection of aviation and space-related exhibits. Located between Lincoln and Omaha in Ashland, Nebraska, the institution occupies extensive exhibit, education, and event spaces to educate and engage visitors from across the United States and beyond. Founded in 1959 to commemorate the aircraft and mission of the Strategic Air Command, the museum also emphasizes scientific exploration and technological innovation as part of its educational focus. It positions itself within the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector, functioning without direct government funding and relying on philanthropic support from individuals and corporations.

In addition to permanent and temporary exhibits, the museum collaborates with institutions such as the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Office of STEM Education to expand educational opportunities for students, teachers, families, and adult learners. Recent activities include involvement in design and architecture awards, and a grant program supporting STEM education initiatives. The organization operates with a regional-facing audience while hosting programs that appeal to a national and international audience interested in aviation history and related sciences.
