Visit Kelch

The Sky's The Limit!

The Kelch Aviation Museum celebrates the Golden Age of Aviation, a rich and riotous era full of record-breakers, barnstormers, and home-built aircraft. Through our exhibits, vintage airplanes, and many events, discover the homespun story of how aviation grew from a dream to an industry that changed the world.

Located in southern Wisconsin on the beautiful Brodhead Airport, visiting our museum is like stepping back in time. Our collection includes 19 vintage aircraft, 3 vintage automobiles, 10,000+ aviation books, 12 original aircraft engines, cabinets of photo collections, and dozens of models, works of art, and one-of-a-kind treasures! Whether you’re a Snoopy-and-the-Red-Baron fan or a researcher sleuthing out original aircraft blueprints, we have something to fascinate you!
