Key Takeaways:
The Tillamook Air Museum in Oregon is closed indefinitely due to heavy storm damage sustained by its historic World War II-era Hangar B in December 2025.
Hangar B, one of the world's largest wooden buildings, suffered a significant 200-foot-by-30-foot hole in its roof, requiring complex repairs to preserve its historic integrity.
Museum exhibits have been relocated for storage, and extensive efforts are underway for structural assessment, engineering, and fundraising, with reopening not anticipated until 2027 or potentially later.
The museum is located in Hangar B, a World War II-era hangar. The hangar sustained heavy damage in a winter storm, and according to museum officials the facility most likely won’t be repaired and ready to reopen until 2027.
