We are not just a museum, we are a home. As you step through our doors, you'll find yourself immersed in a rich and engaging presence of Veterans, Volunteers and Staff that are honored to preserve and educate through History. Our mission here at the Bong Center is to bond veterans and community in honor of our hometown Hero, also known as America's Ace of Aces - Major Richard Ira Bong. Our exhibits offer a glimpse into the real story of WWII's top pilot and some of the experiences of area men and women who have served our country from WWII - present day. We say we are a home because we offer a place to come together and belong, as a Veteran, as a resident or as a visitor. We can't wait to meet you and show you around!
