From the skies to the open road.
Discover the surprising connection between aviation innovation and America’s most iconic travel trailer at the Airstream Heritage Center in Jackson Center, Ohio.
Located at Airstream’s world headquarters, the Heritage Center tells the story of Wally Byam, the visionary founder who brought aircraft-inspired design to the highway. Byam’s background in aviation influenced every curve and rivet, resulting in Airstream’s distinctive aerodynamic shape and aluminum construction that reflect classic aircraft engineering.
Inside the Heritage Center, visitors can explore more than 90 years of design evolution, brand legacy, and road trip culture. The collection features vintage trailers, rare artifacts, historic film reels, and immersive exhibits that highlight Airstream’s role in American innovation and adventure. The brand’s aerospace connection runs deep, including its use by NASA to transport astronauts during the Apollo era and beyond.
The Airstream Heritage Center offers a look at how the principles of flight continue to shape design and inspire exploration on the ground.
